摘要: In this paper we present for the first time, a novel silicon on insulator (SOI) complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) MEMS thermal wall shear stress sensor based tungsten hot-film and three thermopiles. These devices have been fabricated using commercial 1 μm SOI-CMOS process followed by deep reactive ion etch (DRIE) back-etch step to create membranes under effective isolation. The sensors show an excellent repeatability of electro-thermal characteristics can be used measure in both constant current anemometric as well calorimetric modes. calibrated measurement air range 0-0.48 Pa suction type, 2-D flow wind tunnel. calibration results that higher sensitivity (up four times) mode compared lower than 0.3 Pa.
