Thermal sensor device

Abstract

A thermal sensor device capable of maintaining measurement accuracy for a long period by suppressing plastic deformation due to thermal expansion of the heat generating resistor and reducing resistance change of the heat generating resistor, includes: a substrate having an opening; and a diaphragm having a structure in which a lower film, a heat generating resistor, and an upper film are stacked so as to bridge the opening, in which a film thickness of the lower film is larger than a film thickness of the upper film, an average thermal expansion coefficient of the lower film is larger than an average thermal expansion coefficient of the upper film, the lower film includes a plurality of films having different thermal expansion coefficients, and a film having a largest thermal expansion coefficient among the plurality of films is formed below a thickness center of the lower film.
