Flexible thermoelectric device and manufacturing method thereof

A method for manufacturing a flexible thermoelectric device, comprising:

• providing a first substrate and a second substrate, wherein at least one of the first substrate and the second substrate has a plurality of buffer structures;
• forming a plurality of first electrodes on the first substrate, and forming a plurality of second electrodes on the second substrate;
• forming a plurality of thermoelectric pairs on the first electrodes, wherein each of the thermoelectric pairs is respectively composed of a first type thermoelectric member and a second type thermoelectric member;
• and
• jointing the second electrodes with the thermoelectric pairs, wherein the first type thermoelectric member and the second type thermoelectric member of each of the thermoelectric pairs are alternatively connected with each other in series by the first electrodes and the second electrodes.
