Summary:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a thermal type air flowmeter in which measurement accuracy is improved.SOLUTION: The thermal type air flowmeter has: a sensor chip 4 for measuring the flow rate of a fluid to be measured that is disposed in a sub-passage and having a cavity part 28 formed in a semiconductor substrate and a diaphragm 27 formed so as to cover the cavity part 28; a circuit part 3 for converting the flow rate of the fluid detected by the sensor chip 4 into an electric signal; a plate 2 on which the sensor chip 4 is mounted, the plate 2 having a groove (air passage) 13 used for connection to an atmospheric air; and a lead frame 1 on which the plate 2 is mounted. The sensor chip 4, as well as the plate 2 and the lead frame 1, are molded with resin so that a portion of the diaphragm 27 of the sensor chip 4 is exposed, the principal plane of the plate 2 being silicon of a plane (100), the longitudinal direction of the groove (air passage) 13 formed in the plate 2 being a plane .SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】計測精度を向上させた熱式空気流量計を提供する。【解決手段】半導体基板に形成された空洞部28と空洞部28を覆うように形成されたダイアフラム27とを有し、副通路に配置され被計測流体の流量を計測するセンサチップ4と、センサチップ4により検出した流体流量を電気信号に変換する回路部3と、センサチップ4が実装されるプレート2と、プレート2には外気と接続するための溝(空気通路)13と、プレート2が実装されるリードフレーム1を有し、センサチップ4及びプレート2とリードフレーム1は、センサチップ4のダイアフラム27の一部が露出するように樹脂でモールドされ、プレート2の主面は(100)面のシリコンとし、さらにプレート2に形成される溝(空気通路)13の長手方向は<100>方向である。【選択図】図1
