Abstract
Thermal analysis based on numerical simulation is carried out to study the performance of sensors with various micro-structures, thermal element temperature, and gas working media. The simulation results showed that the heat loss on the substrate is the smallest for the sensor with vacuum cavity. The numerical results also indicate that high thermal element temperature and high gas conduction coefficient are beneficial to the sensitivity.
