Abstract :
Four types of micromachined polysilicon structures have been designed and fabricated for wall shear stress sensors in flow measurement and control. Their frequency responses, heat transfer characteristics and wind-tunnel responses have been extensively studied. They are all useful but one may be better than the others depending on the application requirement
