FIELD: electricity.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to thermal electricity. Summary: thermoelectric element has substrate with substrate front side and located opposite substrate front side substrate rear side, first contact, which in form of film is deposited on substrate front side, second contact, which in form of film is deposited on substrate front side, gap between first and second contacts, thermally and electrically separates first and second contacts from each other, and thermoelectrically active film with upper side and bottom side. Shape of gap between first and second contacts is not straight. Contacts and thermoelectric film are connected to each other by side limiting surfaces. Thermoelectrically active film located in gap so, that lower side is adjacent to front side of substrate and one of limiting surfaces is adjacent to first contact, and second of side limiting surfaces is adjacent to second contact.
EFFECT: technical result is production of thermoelectric element with high thermal resistance, which requires less semiconductor material.
