    摘要: An object of the invention is to realize a thermal gas flow sensor capable of reducing time fluctuation of a heating resistor. A heating resistor 3 and thermometric resistors 4 and 14 are formed on a surface of a thin-wall portion 2. Electrode drawn wires 18 to 23 and pad portions 8 to 13 are formed so as to draw signal lines from the heating resistor 3 and the thermometric resistors 4 and 14. Contact portions 24 to 29 are formed to come in contact with the heating resistor 3, the thermometric resistors 4 and 14, and the electrode drawn wires 18 to 23. The heating resistor 3 and the thermometric resistors 4 and 14 are covered with protective films 30a, 30b, and 31a and insulating films 31b and 30c. The protective films 31a and 31b are formed of a dense film formed of nitride or the like. A part coming in contact with a drawn wire portion 34 and the heating resistor 3 is covered with a contact barrier metal film 36 (titanium-based electrical conductor such as titanium nitride, titanium tungsten, and titanium). The titanium-based electrical conductor is a dense film and resistant to hydrogen. Therefore, it is possible to reduce a time fluctuation of the heating resistor.

    摘要: A circuit for protecting a load from an overvoltage can be integrated together with the load on the same chip by an MOS transistor manufacture process. This overvoltage protecting circuit is composed of a surge protection circuit, an overvoltage detecting circuit and a switching circuit. The surge protection circuit including two MOS transistors operates so that a surge voltage applied to a power supply receiving terminal is clamped by virtue of the source-drain breakdown voltage of the two MOS transistors, thereby absorbing the surge energy. The overvoltage detecting circuit including two MOS transistors operates so that a DC voltage supplied from the surge protection circuit is monitored with the source-drain voltage of the two MOS transistors taken as a reference voltage, thereby detecting an overvoltage. An overvoltage detection output brings an MOS transistor of the switching circuit into a turned-off condition to protect the load.

    摘要: Dynamic quantitative displacement is converted stably and straight into voltage (D.C. output) by using a high speed detection driving frequency without restricting a response of an operational amplifier. When a dynamic quantity detection electrostatic capacitance changes according to a dynamic quantity, electric charges stored in this element and in a reference electrostatic capacitance become unbalanced to produce a difference value, and an output of an operational amplifier changes according to the difference in electric charge quantity. However, the output becomes finally stable when the electric charges in the dynamic quantity detection electrostatic capacitance and in the reference electrostatic capacitance become equal. The output is proportional to a reciprocal of the dynamic quantity detection electrostatic capacitance and it is a D.C. voltage. Further, output without depending on integration feedback capacitance (feedback condenser) CF can be obtained.
