Abstract

An integrated semiconductor device comprises, reciprocally superimposed, a thermally insulating region; a thermal conduction region of a high thermal conductivity material; a passivation oxide layer; and a gas sensitive element. The thermal conduction region defines a preferential path towards the gas sensitive element for the heat generated by the heater element, thereby the heat dispersed towards the substrate is negligible during the operation of the device.
