A sensor for measuring a physical amount such as an amount of air includes a membrane structure composed of metal stripes sandwiched between first and second insulating layers. A metal layer made of platinum or the like is formed on the first insulating layer and then heat-treated to improve its properties. Then, the metal layer is etched into a form of the metal stripes. The second insulating layer made of a material such as silicon dioxide is formed on the etched metal stripes. Since the metal layer is heat-treated before it is etched into the form of metal stripes, the metal stripes are not deformed by the heat-treatment. The second insulating layer can be formed on the metal stripes without generating cracks in the second insulating layer.

A more reliable gas sensor includes a support film formed on a surface of a substrate and a heater electrode. Surrounding the heater electrode is a heater electrical insulation layer 4. Detection electrodes are formed above the electrical insulation layer. A flat insulating layer is formed over the heater insulation layer, and surfaces of the detection electrodes are exposed and flush with the upper surface of the flat insulating layer. A sensitive film is formed above the flat insulating layer in contact with the surfaces of the detection electrodes. A hollow cavity is formed in the substrate.

In a sensor chip for a fluid flow sensor, a thin film portion is formed above a hollow cavity portion while leaving thin film layers formed on the surface of a substrate. A conductor is provided on the inner wall face of a through hole formed to penetrate the substrate to thereby electrically connect a detecting portion constituted by a conductor film in the thin film layers and a substrate conductor portion formed on the rear face side of the through hole. The surface of a circuit board is formed with a control circuit and a base conductor portion electrically connected to the control circuit. The sensor chip and the circuit board are layered and the substrate conductor portion and the base conductor portion are electrically connected.

A method of producing a structure by three-dimensionally processing a flat member includes a preparing, a first forming and a second forming. In the preparing, a substrate is prepared. In the first forming, an etching mask is formed on the substrate. The etching mask has at least two openings, and areas of the two openings are different from each other. In the second forming, at least a part of a three-dimension surface shape of the structure is formed on a surface of the substrate by a dry-etching on the substrate in accordance with the area of the opening of the etching mask.

A flow meter is formed with a passage for introducing and carrying air to measure and has a sensing part disposed in the passage for measuring a flow rate of the air. A contraction part is formed on an inner surface of the passage so that the contraction part faces the sensing part. The contraction part narrows the flow of the air flowing near the sensing part. A flat surface of the contraction part is formed in parallel with the surface of the sensing part and at least upstream of the sensing part. Thus, collision of particles against the sensing part and adhesion of contaminants to the sensing pert are inhibited. Meanwhile, the flow rate of the air is measured stably and accurately.

A semiconductor device includes a package and a cooler. The semiconductor package includes a semiconductor element, a metal member, and a molding member for encapsulating the semiconductor element and the metal member. The metal member has a metal portion thermally connected to the semiconductor element, an insulating layer on the metal portion, and a conducting layer on the insulating layer. The conducting layer is at least partially exposed outside the molding member and serves as a radiation surface for radiating heat of the semiconductor element. The cooler has a coolant passage through which a coolant circulates to cool the conducting layer. The conducting layer and the cooler are electrically connected together.
