Abstract:
A microwave power sensor, comprising:a semiconductor substrate with a nitride or oxide film formed thereon; a membrane which is a portion of the nitride or oxide film floated by removing a portion of the semiconductor substrate; first and second thermocouple groups formed to be symmetrically spaced apart from each other on the membrane; an RF input end formed on the nitride or oxide film; a heating resistor formed on the membrane to be connected with the RF input end; first and second ground plates formed on the nitride or oxide film at both sides of the RF input end; a third ground plate formed on the nitride or oxide film to be connected with the heating resistor and electrically connected with the first and second ground plates; and first and second output terminals formed on the semiconductor substrate to be connected with the first and second thermocouple groups, respectively.
