    摘要: A thermal airflow sensor is made highly resistant to thermal stresses due to cold-heat cycles, highly reliable even in the presence of corrosive gases, and capable of low dispersion of output characteristics. The thermal airflow sensor has a semiconductor sensor element in a dent formed on a ceramic laminated board on which a control circuit and a metallic film are formed. The laminated board area at which the semiconductor sensor element is electrically connected to the laminated board is covered with epoxy resin. The part covered with epoxy resin is placed in the air passage.

    摘要: A highly accurate physical quantity sensor which can ensure reliability in strength and reduce resistance changes caused by stresses. Assuming, with respect to stress σ imposed on a substrate in a predetermined direction (e.g., direction in which maximum stress is imposed), a parallel direction to be a horizontal direction and a perpendicular direction to be a vertical direction, each of resistors of the sensor has a horizontal resistance component Rl and a vertical resistance component Rt. When a ratio of a piezoresistance coefficient πl of the horizontal resistance component Rl, which is provided when the stress imposed on the substrate is applied to the horizontal resistance component Rl, to a piezoresistance coefficient πt of the vertical resistance component Rt, which is provided when the stress is applied to the vertical resistance component Rt, is πl:πt=−n:1 (n:integer), a resistance value ratio of the vertical resistance component Rt to the horizontal resistance component Rl is set substantially equal to the ratio of the piezoresistance coefficient πl to πt.

    摘要: A flow rate sensor has a problem that a resistance value of a heat generating resistor itself varies and sensor characteristics are changed during use of the sensor for a long term. Also, the temperature of the heat generating resistor must be adjusted on a circuit substrate with a resistance constituting one side of a fixed temperature difference control circuit, and this has been one of factors pushing up the production cost. All resistances used for fixed temperature difference control are formed on the same substrate as temperature sensitive resistors of the same material. This enables all the resistances for the fixed temperature difference control to be exposed to the same environmental conditions. Hence, even when the resistances change over time, the changes over time occur substantially at the same tendency. Since the resistances for the fixed temperature difference control change over time essentially at the same rate, a resulting output error is very small.

    摘要: A heating resistance flow rate measuring apparatus which can use a power source of an ECU in an automobile without requiring an expensive protective circuit and regulator. Heating of temperature detecting resistors themselves causes temperature changes on the windward and leeward sides, and these temperature changes depend on the amounts of heat generated by the temperature detecting resistors. The amounts of heat generated by the temperature detecting resistors depend on a voltage value of the ECU power source applied to the temperature detecting resistors, and an error is caused in a sensor output depending on a variation in the voltage of the ECU power source. Based on the finding that suppressing the amount of heat generated by the temperature detecting resistors is effective in avoiding the sensor output error caused depending on a variation in the output voltage of the ECU power source, means for suppressing the amount of heat generated by the temperature detecting resistors is disposed.
