Abstract

In order to provide a thermal flow sensor having high measurement accuracy, the thermal type air flow sensor includes a flow detecting unit, a sub passage on which the flow detecting unit is disposed, and an LSI to which a signal obtained by the flow detecting unit is input and which outputs a signal to the outside. A side wall of the sub passage is disposed between the flow detecting unit and the LSI, or on the LSI. A diffusion resistor provided inside the LSI has its longitudinal direction in parallel with a <100> orientation of single-crystal Si.
