Abstract :
Micromachined micro-hotplate (MHP) is used in integrated gas sensors to heat SnO2 sensing film to the high operating temperature with milli-watts of power. This paper reports a detailed thermal modeling study of the MHP using 3-D finite element analysis. Three MHP structures were analyzed. Their thermal characteristics were compared
