Abstract: To provide an airflow amount measuring device capable of accurately measuring a flow amount of air without occurrence of warpage in a thin film portion when an airflow measuring element is mounted on a lead frame to form a resin-sealed package in which the airflow amount measuring element and the lead frame are sealed. A chip package includes a lead frame, an element mounted on the lead frame and having a detection portion, and a structure for sealing the lead frame and the element such that at least the detection portion is exposed. Then, the curvature radius ρ of the exposed portion of the element exposed from the sealing resin member is 2.13 or less.

Abstract: Provided is a sensor element capable of obtaining a wide sensing region, suppressing unevenness of a temperature distribution in the sensing region, and obtaining substantially constant sensor sensitivity. A sensor element according to the present invention includes: a base; a temperature-sensitive film formed on an entire surface of the base and having an electric resistance value that changes due to a change in temperature; and wiring members connected to both ends of the temperature-sensitive film. The temperature-sensitive film includes connection regions connected to the wiring members and a pattern extending from each of the connection regions toward a center of the base, and a cross-sectional area of the pattern is smaller on the connection region sides than at the center of the base.

Abstract: An object is to provide a flow sensor element is non-directional and has an excellent sensor sensitivity. A flow sensor element includes a base body having a spherical shape, and a temperature-sensitive film pattern that is disposed over the entirety of a surface of the base body, and changes in an electrical resistance value due to a change in temperature. It is preferable that the temperature-sensitive film pattern be formed by trimming a temperature-sensitive film that has been formed on the surface of the base body. In the flow sensor element, the temperature-sensitive film pattern can be disposed over the entirety of the surface of the base body having a spherical shape. This enables a constant sensor sensitivity to be obtained regardless of a direction of a fluid, and the accuracy of detection of a flow rate can be improved.

Abstract: An improved flow sensor (104) is provided to enable accurate dose measurements to be made with little or no sensor calibration due to highly accurate flow channel cross section. The flow channel is formed as a metal tube (1301). A sensor window (1304) is formed in the side wall of the metal tube (1301), and the flow sensor (1200) is mounted in the sensor window. A flow manifold is formed around the metal flow channel.

Abstract: A thin film is formed on a substrate on which an opening having two opposite sides are formed, and forms a membrane. The thin film has an upstream temperature sensor and a downstream temperature sensor on both sides of a heater. A heat conductive member covers the two sides and is arranged on both sides of the heater, the upstream temperature sensor, and the downstream temperature sensor so as to promote heat conduction from the heater to the substrate. When an end of the opening on the membrane side is defined as an upper end and an end on the side away from the membrane is defined as a lower end, the heat conductive member covers from the upper end to the lower end of the opening in a normal direction of the membrane.
