Provided are a micro gas sensor for measuring a gas concentration configured to achieve a high heating and cooling rate of a gas sensitive layer, achieve temperature uniformity, and achieve durability against thermal impact and mechanical impact; and a method for manufacturing the micro gas sensor. The micro gas sensor includes: a vacuum cavity disposed in a substrate; a support layer covering the vacuum cavity; a sealing layer sealing the support layer and the vacuum cavity; a micro heater disposed on the sealing layer; a plurality of electrodes disposed on the micro heater, insulated from the micro heater; and a gas sensitive layer covering the electrodes.

Micro gas sensor and method for manufacturing the same

Provided is a method for manufacturing a floating structure of a MEMS. The method for manufacturing a floating structure of a microelectromechanical system (MEMS), comprising the steps of: a) forming a sacrificial layer including a thin layer pattern doped with impurities on a substrate; b) forming a support layer on the sacrificial layer; c) forming a structure to be floated on the support layer by using a subsequent process; d) forming an etch hole exposing both side portions of the thin layer pattern; and e) removing the sacrificial layer through the etch hole to form an air gap between the support layer and the substrate.
