In this case, for example, the length of the detection electrode 3 can be increased while keeping the size of the insulating substrate 2 in plan view as small as possible. As the length of the detection electrode 3 is longer, the change in the resistance value as the detection electrode 3 tends to increase. In addition, detection of fine particles in the gas becomes easy. That is, even when the content of fine particles in the gas is small, the fine particles can be detected more reliably.
- the sensor substrate 1 and the sensor device 10 that are more advantageous in terms of improvement in accuracy and sensitivity of detection of fine particles in the gas and miniaturization in plan view.
- a conductor such as a connection pad for electrical connection between the power supply unit 11 and the detection electrode 3 is schematically shown by a virtual line (two-dot chain line).
- the lead terminal 9 is joined to the connection pad 7.
- the end of the lead terminal 9 opposite to the end joined to the connection pad 7 is joined to a predetermined part of the external electric circuit and electrically connected. That is, electrical and mechanical connection to the external electric circuit of the sensor substrate 1 (sensor device 10) is performed via the lead terminals 9.
- Different electrodes (positive electrode, negative electrode, etc.) of the power supply unit 11 are connected to different lead terminals 9.
- the insulating substrate 2 of the sensor substrate 1 and the external electric circuit are provided by elastic deformation of the lead terminal 9.
- the lead terminal 9 is not for detecting fine particles, like the connection pad 7. Therefore, the material for forming the lead terminals 9 may be appropriately selected according to the environment in which the lead terminals 9 are used, the conditions such as the productivity and economy of the sensor substrate 1. For example, if the lead terminal 9 is made of a metal material having excellent oxidation resistance such as platinum or gold, it is advantageous in terms of reliability as the sensor device 10. Further, the lead terminal 9 may be formed of an iron-based alloy such as an iron-nickel-cobalt alloy, copper, or the like with emphasis on economy and the like. Further, when the lead terminal 9 is made of an iron-based alloy, the exposed surface may be protected by a plating layer such as a gold plating layer.
- a plating layer such as a gold plating layer.
- the bonding of the lead terminals 9 to the connection pads 7 is performed by, for example, a brazing material (no symbol) such as silver brazing (silver copper brazing material) or gold brazing.
- a brazing material such as silver brazing (silver copper brazing material) or gold brazing.
- the brazing material as with the lead terminal 9, the material is appropriately selected according to various conditions when the sensor substrate 1 is manufactured or used.
- the sensor substrate and the sensor device of the present invention are not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications are possible within the scope of the gist of the present invention.
