摘要
A finite element model for evaluating the performance of the MEMS air flow sensor with sapphire as substrate was established. The temperature distribution of the MEMS sensor chip with respect to different air flow was calculated by COMSOL Multiphysics. The trenches etched in the substrate were used to reduce the heat transfer from the heater to the temperature measuring thermistors within the substrate. The influences of the width and depth of the trenches on the output of the sensor chip were analyzed. The simulation results shows the potential of using sapphire substrate for processing the MEMS air flow sensor.
