Abstract
A test structure for the design and optimisation of thermal gas flow sensors has been developed. This test structure provides information about the temperature distribution created around a heating element as well as its modification due to a gas flow, thus permitting to obtain information about the thermal conductivity of the membrane material. Data obtained from the characterisation of the structure can be used in the optimisation of a flow sensor designed for any specific application.
