    摘要: A thermal flow sensor which is fabricated at a low cost and has improved reliability. Over a cavity (7) formed in a semiconductor substrate (2), at least a heating resistance (4) is formed near the center of the cavity with an electrical insulation film interposed between the heating resistance and the cavity. The temperature (Th) of the heating resistance (4) is controlled to be higher than the medium temperature (Ta) by a constant temperature ({Th=Th−Ta). A distance (Ws) in the direction of airflow from an upstream end of the heating resistance (4) to an upstream end of the electrical insulation film lying over the cavity and the constant temperature (ΔTh) satisfy the following relationship: ΔTh/Ws≦800 (° C./mm) Thus, a thermal flow sensor is provided which can prevent deposition of floating fine particles, such as carbon particles, caused by the thermophoretic effect, can be fabricated at a low cost, and has high reliability.

    摘要: A thermal type air flow meter that makes it possible to precisely and easily determine whether a sensor element is a non-defective or a defective by screening is provided. First and second diaphragm sections composed of an electrical insulating film are formed in a semiconductor substrate. A heating resistor and a resistor for intake air temperature sensor are disposed on them to obtain a sensor element for thermal type air flow meters. The length of the short sides W1 of the rectangular first diaphragm section is made substantially equal to the length of the short sides of the second diaphragm section rectangular as well. Thus, the pressures applied to each of the diaphragm sections are substantially identical with each other in pressurization during screening.

    摘要: A hot-wire type air flow meter for an internal combustion engine has an exothermic resistor film provided on a thin portion formed on a silicon substrate and a control circuit for controlling a voltage to be applied to the resistor film or a current to be supplied. The resistor film is arranged in a suction pipe of the internal combustion engine and heat is emitted to an air through the resistor film. In the case where a liquid droplet is deposited onto the resistor film, the control circuit controls the applied voltage to a value smaller than a voltage which is applied to the resistor film at the time of measuring a maximum specified measuring range or controls the supply current to a value smaller than a current flowing in the resistor film at the time of measuring the maximum specified measuring range.
