Abstract

The heat conductance of the heat transfer route through which heat flows into a heat sink from the central region and its neighborhood of an absorbent via the edge region of the absorbent is made to be smaller, by making the absorbent have such a form that the film thickness of the edge region of the pattern of the infrared absorbent formed on the surface of a temperature sensing part is smaller than that of the central region of the pattern. Efficient temperature rise of a temperature sensing part is realized.
