Claim 12:
13. An aerosol generating device comprising:
a heater;
a temperature sensor arranged on the heater and configured to sense a temperature of the heater;
a battery configured to supply power to the heater; and
a controller configured to control the power supplied to the heater from the battery and monitor the temperature sensed by the temperature sensor,
wherein the heater comprises:
a flexible substrate formed of an insulating material; and
a plane heating element which is configured to be heated by the power supplied from the battery to generate aerosols and is formed on one surface of the flexible substrate,

wherein the plane heating element is connected in series between two electrodes, and comprises an electrically conductive track pattern that is formed along a zigzag-shaped path and that comprises linear sub-tracks arranged side by side and bridge tracks connected to the linear sub-tracks, between the linear sub-tracks, and
wherein the electrically conductive track pattern further comprises a sensor seating region connected in series between a first linear sub-track and a second linear sub-track which are adjacently arranged from among the linear sub-tracks, the sensor seating region formed of a planar track having an area on which an undersurface of the temperature sensor is seated.
