Summary:A thermoelectric device and method for and method for making are provided. The thermoelectric device (200) has a first and second elements (202 and 204). The first and second elements (202 and 204) have first and second portions (206 and 208), and third and fourth portions (212 and 214) with first and second regions (210 and 216) connected between the first and second portions (206 and 208) and third and fourth portions (112 and 114), respectively. The first and second portions (206 and 208) and third and fourth portions (112 and 114) are electrically coupled through regions (210 and 216) and with thermal conductance between first and second portions (206 and 208) and third and fourth portions (212 and 214) being inhibited by regions (110 and 116), respectively. Thermoelectric element (203) having first and second electrodes (219, 221), wherein electrode (221) of the thermoelectric element (103) is electrically and thermally coupled to portion (208) and wherein the electrode (119) is electrically and thermally coupled to portion (112).
