<p>A flow-rate detecting device for a heat-sensitive type flow sensor having high reliability. The device includes a planar substrate having first and second through-holes formed therein in juxtaposition with each other, an insulative supporting film formed over one major surface of the substrate so as to cover the through-holes, a fluid temperature measuring resistor formed by a heat-sensitive resistor film deposited at a location of the first through-hole on the supporting film oppositely to the substrate, a heat generating resistor formed of a heat-sensitive resistance film deposited at a location of the second through-hole on the supporting film oppositely to the substrate, an insulative protection film deposited so as to cover the fluid temperature measuring resistor and the heat generating resistor, and a reinforcing film provided for the fluid temperature measuring resistor. The reinforcing film is not provided for the heat generating resistor. Flow rate or alternatively flow speed of a fluid is measured by taking advantage of phenomenon of heat transfer to the fluid from the heat generating resistor.</p> |
