A thermal isolated micro-electro-mechanical system( MEMS) gas mass flow sensor is developed. The thermal isolated cantilever structure is adopted for heating resistor
upstream and downstream resistors with 240 μm interval. The design key point of constant temperature difference circuit is analyzed
and system circuit is made.The curve of relationship between sensor output voltage and gas flow is measured
and accordingly sensor is calibrated. Test result shows that at flow range of 0
20 L / min
the sensor has fast response speed
high sensibility
smooth output signal
so the sensor is suitable for industrial and medical fields.
