Abstract
It is made possible to adjust the output of a thermopile-type thermoelectric sensor in such a way that a thermoelectric pattern for sensitivity adjustment is connected in series to a plurality of thermoelectric patterns constituting a thermopile short-circuited patterns for short-circuiting cold junctions of the thermoelectric pattern for sensitivity adjustment are formed, and the short-circuited patterns are selectively cut off.
Claims7
