摘要
The micromachining technology and an electro-thermo-mechanical performance analysis of GaAs based micromachined thermal converter (MTC) device to be designed for metal oxide gas sensors are presented. MTC device introduced exhibits a low power consumption due to by high thermal resistance values (R-th = 15-21 K/mW), uniform temperature distribution, a fast temperature time response (tau similar to 1.5-1.8 ms), and good mechanical integrity and thermal stability. It is also fully compatible with the GaAs HEMT based signal-processing and controlling electronics to be monolithically integrated with the gas sensors. The both a simple analytical and three-dimensional thermal modeling of the MTC device was performed. It supported the high electro-thermal conversion efficiency and fast temperature time response of the MEMS device as evaluated by the experiments. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
