<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a thermoelectric transducer whose performance and mechanical strength can be improved. <P>SOLUTION: A thermoelectric transducer 1 is provided with a first substrate 11 having an electrode 12, a second substrate 25 which has the other electrode 26 and is arranged in face to face with the first electrode, and a p-type and an n-type thermoelectric conductors 17, 18 which are clamped between both substrates 11, 25 and subjected to pn junction via both electrodes. The p-type and the n-type thermoelectric conductors 17, 18 are formed of parallel parts 21 joined to the substrate 25, and magnified end portions 22 which are joined to the substrate 11 continually connected to the parallel parts. Each area of sections of the parallel parts 21 which sections are in parallel with both substrates 11, 25 is made equal. The area of a section of the magnified end 22 which section is in parallel with both substrates 11, 25 is enlarged gradually toward the substrate 11 to which the magnified end portion 22 is joined. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO |
