Contact combustion type gas sensor and method for manufacturing the same

A method for manufacturing a contact combustion type gas sensor comprising:

• providing a substrate;
• providing a catalytic layer that includes a catalyst for accelerating a chemical reaction of a detection target gas;
• providing a temperature measuring element that detects at least an increase in a temperature of the catalytic layer;
• and
• providing a support member that transfers heat generated by the chemical reaction toward the temperature measuring element and includes a support leg and a support body that are connected with each other, the support leg being provided between the substrate and the catalytic layer and separating the catalytic layer from the substrate, and the support body supporting the catalytic layer.
