摘要
A novel out-of-plane hot-wire anemometer has been developed by combining surface micromachining and efficient three-dimensional assembly. The sensing filament is made of metal instead of doped silicon. It is elevated from the substrate using an efficient three-dimensional assembly process, resulting in greater sensitivity. The overall process temperature is low (<250degreesC). Hence the process can be realized on nonsilicon, low-cost and flexible substrates. Time constant in constant-current mode is found to be below 50-mus with a wire thickness of 1000 Angstrom and 50-mum in length.
