PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a thermoelectric transducer which removes an uneven distribution of inactive particulates and enhances a characteristic largely as an adverse influence of the other physical values such as an electric resistivity, etc., caused by the uneven distribution of inactive particulates is larger than a phonon scattering effect caused by the inactive particulates because of the uneven distribution of inactive particulates, and a performance enhancement of a thermoelectric transducing material is prevented. SOLUTION: In the thermoelectric transducer which scatters an insulating material 2 in a thermoelectric transducing material 1, an interface density between a thermoelectric transducing material phase and an insulating material phase is set to 0.02 to 3 (1/nm), preferably 0.06 to 1.8 (1/nm), more preferably 0.1 to 1.8 (1/nm).
