摘要： A gas sensor is equipped with a built-in ceramic heater. The gas sensor detects the concentration of a predetermined gas component contained in the exhaust gas. The ceramic heater has a heater base member made of ceramic, a heating element formed in the inside of the heater base material, and a pair of external electrode pads that is electrically connected to the output terminals for the outer leads. The external electrode pads, the heating element, and the heater leads are made of base metal. The outer surface of each external electrode pad is covered only with a dense protective film made of noble metal such as gold (Au), silver (Ag), platinum (Pt), rhodium (Rh), and palladium (Pd).

摘要： A laminated gas sensor includes a solid electrolyte layer, a measurement gas chamber, a reference gas chamber, a measurement gas chamber formation layer, and a reference gas chamber formation layer. The measurement gas chamber formation layer has an opposite pair of inner side surfaces that extend in a longitudinal direction of the solid electrolyte layer and face each other in a lateral direction of the solid electrolyte layer through the measurement gas chamber. The reference gas chamber formation layer has an opposite pair of inner side surfaces that extend in the longitudinal direction and face each other in the lateral direction through the reference gas chamber. Further, at least one of the inner side surfaces of the measurement gas chamber formation layer is located more inside the laminated gas sensor than a corresponding one of the inner side surfaces of the reference gas chamber formation layer in the lateral direction.

The sensing electrode includes at least part of the contact portion. A gas receiving surface region, exposed to the measuring gas, extends from an element tip to a position spaced by a distance L away from the element tip. At least part of the contact portion is located in a region extending from the element tip to a position spaced by a distance 0.4L away from the element tip. The sensing electrode is entirely located in a region extending from the element tip to a position spaced by a distance 0.8L away from the element tip.
