A fast-response thermal gas flow sensor based on Atomic Layer Thermopile thermoelectric sensitive film
摘要
In this work, a thermal gas flow sensor based on Atomic Layer Thermopile (ALTP) thermoelectric sensitive film is presented. The sensor uses longitudinal heat conduction mode, consisting of La1 − xCaxMnO3 sensitive film, MgO insulating and thermal conductive film and Pt heat generating film, where the Pt heater is used to provide the heat source and La1 − xCaxMnO3 is used to provide the thermoelectric voltage output. The feasibility of the sensor is verified by COMSOL multi-physical finite element simulation, and the output characteristics of the sensor are studied. The ALTP thermal gas flow sensor has a response time of 0.32ms, indicating that the sensor has fast response capability. The sensor has a sensitivity of 0.205 mV/(L/min)/W. This work validates the application potential of fast response thermal flow sensor prepared based on Atomic Layer Thermopile.
