<p>Disclosed is a method enabling high-speed manufacture of flexible thermoelectric generation devices by means of an AD method. The method comprises disposing pieces of conductive tape, spaced apart from each other in rectangular shapes, on a flexible tape in a line in the longitudinal direction of the flexible tape, each rectangular piece of conductive tape having a predetermined number of p-type elements and a predetermined number of n-type elements formed thereon in strips by an AD method, and the p-type elements and n-type elements all having the same strip shape as polycrystalline films and formed so as to be shifted away exactly by a predetermined angle from the orientation by which the longitudinal direction of the strip shapes perpendicularly intersects the longitudinal direction of the flexible tape; disposing pieces of conductive connection tape, spaced apart from each other in rectangular shapes, on another substrate formed by flexible tape; and attaching the first flexible tape to the other flexible tape by utilizing the connectivity of the conductive connection tape, thereby manufacturing flexible thermoelectric generation devices connected in series as a whole. The ratio of the number of p-type elements to the number of n-type elements is selected so that the impedance with respect to the external load to be connected is matched.</p> |
