Surface Micromachined Thermal Shear Stress Sensor
We have designed, fabricated, and tested a new type of thermal shear-stress sensor. The sensor consists of a 2 m wide polysilicon thermistor (with a range of lengths, 80-200 m) on a 1.2 m thick silicon-nitride diaphragm, which is on top of a vacuum cavity 200 200 2 m in size. The vacuum cavity provides a good thermal isolation between the resistive element and the substrate; shear-stress sensit...
متن کاملMicromachined Thermal Flow Sensors - A Review
Microfabrication has greatly matured and proliferated in use amongst many disciplines. There has been great interest in micromachined flow sensors due to the benefits of miniaturization: low cost, small device footprint, low power consumption, greater sensitivity, integration with on-chip circuitry, etc. This paper reviews the theory of thermal flow sensing and the different configurations and ...
متن کاملA Micromachined Flow Shear Stress Sensor based on Thermal Transfer Principles
Micro hotlm shear-stress sensors have been developed by using surface micromachining techniques. The sensor consists of a suspended silicon-nitride diaphragm located on top of a vacuum-sealed cavity. A heating and heat-sensing element, made of poly-crystalline silicon material, resides on top of the diaphragm. The underlying vacuum cavity greatly reduces conductive heat loss to the substrate an...
متن کاملTwo-Dimensional Micromachined Flow Sensor Array for Fluid Mechanics Studies
We discuss two types of micromachined flow sensors realized by using novel microfabrication processes—a hot-wire anemometer ~based on thermal transfer! and a biologically inspired flow sensor ~based on momentum transfer!. Both sensors are enabled by a new, efficient three-dimensional assembly technique called the plastic deformation magnetic assembly method. The sensors can be packaged in high-...
متن کاملGaseous slip flow analysis of a micromachined flow sensor for ultra small flow applications
The velocity slip of a fluid at a wall is one of the most typical phenomena in microscale gas flows. This paper presents a flow analysis considering the velocity slip in a capacitive micro gas flow sensor based on pressure difference measurements along a microchannel. The tangential momentum accommodation coefficient (TMAC) measurements of a particular channel wall in planar microchannels will ...
