PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a thin film gas sensor for maintaining an excellent stability of sensor resistance at high temperature and humidity for long time and driven by a battery. SOLUTION: In the thin film gas sensor, an outer circumference or both ends of a thin support film are supported by a Si substrate, a thin film heater 3 is formed on support substrate 1, 2 like a diaphragm having a thin central part and a thick outer circumference or both ends, the heater 3 is covered with an insulation layer 4, an electrode 5 for a gas sensing film is formed on the insulation layer 4, a gas sensing layer (SnO2) 6 is formed and comprises a thin film semiconductor, a selective combustion layer 7 is formed and covers the gas sensing layer 6, and the stability against a change with age is maintained by a noble metal catalyst such as Pd, Pt carried on a surface layer of the gas sensing layer 6.
