Abstract

A gas detecting device includes a substrate, an insulating layer supported by the substrate, first and second pairs of detection leads formed on the insulating layer, a heater lead formed on the insulating layer, the first and second pairs of detection leads being heated by passing a heater driving current through the heater lead, a gas sensitive layer formed of a gas sensitive material and provided so as to partially make contact with the first and second pairs of detection leads, and a passivation layer formed so as to cover the first and second pairs of detection leads and the heater lead. A gas detection signal is output from the gas sensitive layer through one of the first and second pairs of detection leads. A gas detecting system including the above gas detecting device is also provided.
