Abstract
A flow sensor includes a semiconductor, an electric control circuit, a lead frame, and a spacer. The spacer is disposed in a clearance between the lead frame and the semiconductor device on an opposite side from a joint portion of the semiconductor device with the lead frame on a side of the electric control circuit across the diaphragm disposed therebetween. A surface of the electric control circuit and a part of a surface of the semiconductor device is covered with resin while the air flow sensing unit is exposed. At the joint portion, the semiconductor device is attached to the lead frame via an adhesive.
