Abstract
A thermal-type infrared sensor includes a thermopile; an electrical conduction path of the thermopile, the conduction path including at least one crossed section in which the conduction path is crossed; a first region that is closed or substantially closed and formed by part of the conduction path, the part of the conduction path including an output section of the conduction path and the at least one crossed section; and a second region that is closed or substantially closed and formed by another part of the conduction path having the at least one crossed section as a boundary. The first region and the second region do not overlap each other.
