Problems solved by technology

The existing technology usually uses two independent thermistors as the heating resistor and the temperature measuring resistor respectively. Due to the problem of process batching, it is difficult to ensure that the two have exactly the same temperature sensitivity coefficient.
Moreover, the requirements for the thermal dissipation coefficients of the two resistors are also a contradiction
In addition, the use of two independent thermistors also makes the cost considerable, and the consistency is difficult to guarantee
Due to the influence of the thermistor packaging form, the air mass flow sensor using two independent thermistors still has defects such as the inability to improve the measurement accuracy, the inability to reduce power loss, and the limited measurement range.

Embodiment Construction

[0012] Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[0013] Such as figure 1 , figure 2 , image 3 As shown, the air mass flow sensor involved in the embodiment of the present invention adopts a silicon-based film sensitive structure based on MEMS technology. The sensitive structure is composed of a base material 1 , an insulating film 2 , a heating resistor 3 , a temperature measuring resistor 4 , a heat insulating cavity 5 , a temperature measuring resistor wiring 6 , and a bonding pad 7 . The base material 1 adopts single crystal silicon material. A layer of insulating film 2 is covered thereon. In the middle area of ​​the entire sensitive structure, an insulating cavity 5 is formed by an etching process, so that only a layer of insulating film 2 with a thickness of only a few microns remains in this area. Then, the heating resistor 3 is formed on the insulating film 2 by processes such as deposition, photolithography, ...

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an air mass flow sensor suitable for measuring the intake air volume of an automobile engine, in particular to an air mass flow sensor composed of a silicon-based film structure sensitive element. Background technique [0002] Generally, as an air mass flow sensor for measuring the intake air volume of an engine of a car, etc., the air flow rate is measured by measuring the temperature difference between the upstream resistor and the downstream resistor of the heating resistor, or the heating current is measured by controlling the temperature difference between the heating resistor and the fluid to be constant. to measure air flow. The method of controlling the temperature difference between the heating resistor and the fluid to be constant is called the constant temperature difference method. [0003] The constant temperature differential thermal air mass flow sensor consists of a heating resistor and a temperature measuring ...
