Title:
GAS FLOWMETER AND ITS MANUFACTURING METHOD
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3698679
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a gas flowmeter which can reduce change with time, and to provide its manufacturing method.
SOLUTION: The gas flowmeter is provided with a silicon semiconductor substrate 2 in which a cavity 9 is formed, and a heat generating resistor 4 formed on the cavity 9 of the substrate 2 via an insulating film 8a. The heat generating resistor 4 is a silicon (Si) semiconductor thin film which is subjected to high density impurity doping. On an upper layer and a lower layer of the semiconductor thin film, a silicon nitride (Si3N4) thin film is formed which is a barrier layer and stoichiometrically stable. Hydrogen is hard to permeate the barrier layer and to be absorbed by the barrier layer, in a heating temperature range of the heating resistor.
