Abstract
The thermoelectric figure of merit of a semiconductor p-n junction is calculated in terms of the diode theory taking account of the bipolar thermal conductivity. The thermoelectric figure of merit of a Bi2Te3 diode is estimated and it is shown that the Ioffe criterion may be at the same level as the best modern thermoelectric materials but cannot exceed unity.
