The article presents calculation method of a thin-film thermoelectric module to be manufactured by pulsed laser deposition. The module is a polyimide substrate (54x20x0,1 mm), on which thermoelectric Bi2Te3-based material is deposited. By the results of calculation we determined the required number of thermocouples for the module to generate a voltage of 3.6 V at a temperature difference of 16 K.
