▎ 摘　　要

NOVELTY - Thermoelectric conversion element comprises a base and at least a pair of thermocouple members provided on the base, where one of the pair of thermocouple members is an N-type doped carbon thin film and the other of the pair of thermocouple members is a P-type carbon thin film. USE - Thermoelectric conversion element. DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for a method for producing the thermoelectric conversion element involving forming a photobase generating agent layer on one portion of a pair of thermocouple members, the photobase generating agent layer being a composite comprising a base material that transmits UV light and a P-type carbon thin film that is provided on the base material and has at least a pair of thermocouple members, and irradiating the P-type carbon thin film with UV light from the base material side after the photobase generating agent layer forming step.
