Technique of suppressing performance variations for each flow sensor is provided. In a flow sensor FS1 of the present invention, apart of a semiconductor chip CHP1 is configured to be covered with resin (MR) in a state in which a flow sensing unit (FDU) formed on a semiconductor chip CHP1 is exposed. Since an upper surface SUR(MR) of the resin (MR) is higher than an upper surface SUR(CHP) of the semiconductor chip (CHP1) by sealing the resin (MR) on a part of the upper surface SUR(CHP) of the semiconductor chip CHP1 in a direction parallel to an air flow direction, the air flow around the flow sensing unit (FDU) can be stabilized. Further, interface peeling between the semiconductor chip (CHP1) and the resin (MR) can be prevented by an increase of contact area between the semiconductor chip (CHP1) and the resin (MR).

摘要:
When an exposed part of a semiconductor chip is reduced in size, a tendency of development of a crack on the semiconductor chip is suppressed. A pressure of injection of a resin MR into a second space creates a gap on a contact part SEL where an elastic film LAF and a semiconductor chip CHP1 are in contact, and a resin MR2 different in constituent from the resin MR infiltrates into the gap. As a result, in an area of semiconductor chip CHP1 that is exposed from the resin MR, the resin MR2 is formed in an area other than a flow detecting unit FDU and an area around it. Hence, an area of semiconductor chip CHP1 that is exposed from the resins MR and MR2 can be reduced in size.
