Abstract

This paper describes on the fabrication and characteristics of hot-film type micro-flowsensors integrated with Pt-RTD's and micro-heaters on the Si substrate, in which MgO thin-films were used as medium layer in order to improve adhesion of Pt thin-films to $SiO_2$ layer, The MgO layer improved adhesion of Pt thin-films to $SiO_2$ layer without any chemical reactions to Pt thin-films under high annealing temperatures. In investigating output characteristics of the fabricated micro-flowsensors, the output voltages increased as gas flow rate and its conductivity increased due to increase of heat-loss from sensor to external. Output voltage was 82 mV at $N_2$ flow rate of 2000 seem/min, heating power of 1.2W.
