Abstract

Disclosed is a temperature measuring apparatus which is provided with: a substrate (2); a temperature sensor (3) disposed on one surface of the substrate (2); and a wire (8) disposed to electrically connect together a circuit, which detects a temperature using the temperature sensor (3), and the temperature sensor (3). In said surface of the substrate (2), a recessed section (7) having a heat capacity smaller than that of the material of the substrate (2) is formed on the periphery of the temperature sensor (3). The recessed section (7) is formed at a predetermined interval from the temperature sensor (3) such that the recessed section surrounds the temperature sensor (3) and has predetermined width and depth. Preferably, the low heat capacity zone is the recessed section (7), i.e., the groove having a recessed cross-section.
