Configuration of a conventional example and its problems The configuration of a conventional heat flow sensor is shown in Fig. 1. The sensor is constructed by incorporating thermopiles 2 on the front and back sides of a thermal resistor 1, and further adding a thermocouple 3 for measuring the temperature of the thermal resistor 1. When the heat flow sensor is installed on the heat radiation surface 4, a temperature difference ΔT occurs between the front and back surfaces of the thermal resistor 1. If the thermal conductivity of the thermal resistor 1 is λ and the thickness is d, the heat flow Q can be theoretically determined by Q=(λ/d)ΔT.

In this way, conventional heat flow sensors use a thermopile 2 (a plurality of thermocouples connected in series) and a thermocouple 3 for temperature measurement, but the thermoelectromotive force of the thermocouple is 1 to 10 μV per 1°C. This is a small value. As described above, the conventional devices have problems such as low heat flow detection sensitivity and the need for multiple electromotive force detection circuits, which are expensive.

To measure humidity resistance, use temperature-sensitive resistors 6, 6'
It is also desirable that the electrode films 7 and 7' be composed of a thick film resistor and a thick film electrode film. The reason for this is that thick film resistors and thick film electrode films are formed by printing and firing a paste composed of conductive particles, glass powder, and a solvent, so a porous thick film is formed by the evaporation of the solvent. This porosity makes it easier for water molecules to pass through the thick film resistor and thick film electrode film, making it possible to measure the humidity resistance of the moisture-sensitive flat ceramic substrate 5 with high sensitivity. be.
