Abstract

In this paper, we designed and fabricated the novel air flow sensor using air drag force, which can be applied to the low air flow detection. To measure the low air flow, we should enlarge the air drag force and the output signal at the given air flow. The paddle structure is applied to the device, and the device is vertically located against the air flow to magnify the air drag force. We also adapt the corrugation structure to improve the output signals on the given air velocity. The device structure is made up of the silicon nitride layer and the output signal is measured with the piezoresistive layer. The output signals from the corrugated device show the better measurement sensitivity and the response time than that of flat one. The repeated measurement also shows the stabilized signals.
