Research on Performance Optimization for MEMS Thermal Wind Speed and Direction Sensor

The environmental temperature sensing diode is always influenced by the thermal field of the sensor chip, which leads to the abnormal heating curve of the MEMS thermal wind speed and direction sensor. In order to solve this problem, the diode was replaced by an external diode and the distance to the sensor chip had been increased in this paper. Consequently, the abnormal points in the curve had been disappeared. On this basis, the package scheme for the sensor chip and the surrounding temperature sensing diode had been optimized. It could not only eliminate the mutual interference between the thermal field and unnecessary heat loss as far as possible, but also guarantee good contact between the air and the temperature sensing element. The wind experiments demonstrate that the heating voltage-wind speed curve of the sensor is smoother with a good repeatability. The measurement errors of wind speed and wind direction are less than ±4% and ±4°, respectively. Moreover, the power-on stability time of the sensing system has been reduced to about 15 s.
