摘要： A thermal air flowmeter having excellent temperature characteristics and improved measurement accuracy. The thermal air flowmeter includes a temperature sensor disposed in a casing of the air flowmeter, a computing unit for correcting a flow rate detection voltage from a measuring element by using the temperature sensor, and a heating temperature control disposed in a temperature control circuit for performing temperature control of a heating resistor to vary a temperature rise of the heating resistor relative to an air temperature depending on the air temperature. Flow rate detection errors of the thermal air flowmeter caused by an overall temperature change and a temperature change on an intake passage wall surface can be corrected simultaneously and a thermal air flowmeter having superior measurement accuracy can be realized.

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 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.

摘要： A flow rate sensor has a problem that a resistance value of a heat generating resistor itself varies and sensor characteristics are changed during use of the sensor for a long term. Also, the temperature of the heat generating resistor must be adjusted on a circuit substrate with a resistance constituting one side of a fixed temperature difference control circuit, and this has been one of factors pushing up the production cost. All resistances used for fixed temperature difference control are formed on the same substrate as temperature sensitive resistors of the same material. This enables all the resistances for the fixed temperature difference control to be exposed to the same environmental conditions. Hence, even when the resistances change over time, the changes over time occur substantially at the same tendency. Since the resistances for the fixed temperature difference control change over time essentially at the same rate, a resulting output error is very small.

摘要： A highly accurate physical quantity sensor which can ensure reliability in strength and reduce resistance changes caused by stresses. Assuming, with respect to stress σ imposed on a substrate in a predetermined direction (e.g., direction in which maximum stress is imposed), a parallel direction to be a horizontal direction and a perpendicular direction to be a vertical direction, each of resistors of the sensor has a horizontal resistance component Rl and a vertical resistance component Rt. When a ratio of a piezoresistance coefficient πl of the horizontal resistance component Rl, which is provided when the stress imposed on the substrate is applied to the horizontal resistance component Rl, to a piezoresistance coefficient πt of the vertical resistance component Rt, which is provided when the stress is applied to the vertical resistance component Rt, is πl:πt=−n:1 (n:integer), a resistance value ratio of the vertical resistance component Rt to the horizontal resistance component Rl is set substantially equal to the ratio of the piezoresistance coefficient πl to πt.

摘要： It is an object of the present invention to provide a simple-structure physical quantity detecting device whose resistance does not vary irrespective of use for long periods, a method for manufacturing thereof and a motor vehicle control system using the physical quantity detecting sensor to improve its reliability. An airflow sensor (20) is equipped with a heat generating resistor (12H) and a temperature measuring resistor (12C), formed on a semiconductor substrate (11). The heat generating resistor (12H) is formed in a thin-wall portion (11A). Both end portions of the heat generating resistor (12H) are connected through first lead conductors (13H1, 13H2) to electrodes (14H1, 14H2), respectively. A second lead conductor (15H1) connected to the electrode (14H1) extends to an outer circumferential portion of the airflow sensor (10). A second lead conductor (15H2, 15H3) connected to the electrode (14H2) also extend to the outer circumferential portion of the airflow sensor (10), but a disconnection portion (16) is made in the middle thereof to establish electrical non-conduction.
