2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a gas sensor, an electrode and a heater serving also as an electrode are built in a metal oxide semiconductor, and when the metal oxide semiconductor is heated by the heater, the resistance value of the metal oxide semiconductor becomes higher than that of the metal oxide semiconductor. Although an oxide semiconductor utilizing the effect of gas adsorption on the surface of the oxide semiconductor has been proposed, there is a problem that power consumption is large and the oxide semiconductor is not suitable for driving a dry battery. In order to improve this point, an overhanging portion, such as a bridge structure or a cantilever structure, that overhangs in the air is provided, and a metal oxide semiconductor is formed on the overhanging portion, thereby increasing the heat capacity. Attempts have been made to improve the response characteristics by reducing the power consumption and to reduce the power consumption.

In this manner, a thin-film insulator is cross-linked on the concave portion formed on the substrate, and a heating resistor is disposed thereon, and the change in the resistance value of the heating element is used to change the state of the surrounding atmosphere. Various sensors have already been proposed to detect the heat.However, these heating resistors have a zigzag shape parallel to the longitudinal direction of the strip, and when heated, transfer from the bridge supporting portion to the substrate occurs. Although the heat was prevented, the temperature was not perfect, and the temperature of the heating resistor was low at the bridge portion and high at the center, resulting in an uneven temperature distribution. In addition, there is a problem that heating power is large to easily compensate for the amount of heat radiation, and heat is easily generated locally.
Further, as a result, the sensitivity was low because the effective heating area was small.

The substrate 10 shown in FIG. 1 uses Si (silicon) in this embodiment to form the recess 11 by anisotropic etching. The substrate 10 has a rectangular shape of Si (100). After forming the SiO 2 thin film insulator 12 on the upper surface, the heating resistor 13 is formed on the thin film insulator 12 by a method such as vapor deposition, CVD, or sputtering. A film of a metal stable to oxidation such as Pt (platinum) is formed. Next, the thin film insulator 12 is cross-linked and supported on the concave portion 11 by photolithography, anisotropic etching, or the like.
The heating resistor 13 on which the metal film is formed is formed thereon. The heating resistor 13 is connected to a pad portion 13a for current supply formed on the substrate 10 and a lead portion 13b provided on the bridge portion 12a.

The thin-film insulator 12 has the same shape as the heat-generating resistor 13 and is substantially square, slightly larger than the heat-generating resistor 13. The thin-film insulator 12 is supported by the substrate 12 and the bridge 12a on a diagonal line of the square. The width of the bridge portion 12a is smaller than the length of the side of the thin-film insulator 12, and a lead portion 13b with the heating resistor 13 is formed. Since the heating resistor 13 is formed in a continuous linear shape having a width smaller than that of the lead portion 13b, for example, in a zigzag shape over the entire area indicated by the heating resistor 13, a large resistance value is obtained. The position 13a is separated from the substrate 10 by 13a.
