Abstract
A flow sensor chip includes a substrate in which a cavity having an opening is formed; a membrane provided on a surface of the substrate so as to cover the opening; a heater provided inside the membrane; a first thermopile and a second thermopile provided in the membrane, the heater being interposed between the first thermopile and the second thermopile; and a heat conduction member serving as a heat conduction path between the substrate and the membrane. A first hot junction and a first cold junction of a thermocouple provided in the first thermopile and a second hot junction and a second cold junction of a thermocouple provided in the second thermopile are arranged at positions overlapping with the opening as viewed from a direction normal to the surface of the substrate.
