Fabrication of a Micro Electromagnetic
Flow Sensor for Micro Flow Rate Measurement
H. J. Yoon, S. Y. Kim, K. Y. Kim, and S. S. Yang
ABSTRACT This paper presents
the fabrication of a micro electromagnetic flow sensor for the liquid
flow rate measurement. The micro electromagnetic flow sensor
has some advantages such as a simple structure, no heat generation,
a rapid response and no pressure loss. The principle of the
micro electromagnetic flow sensor is based on Faradays law.
If conductive fluid passes through a magnetic field, the electromotive
force is generated and detected by two electrodes on the wall of
the flow channel. The flow sensor consists of two permanent
magnets and a silicon flow channel with two electrodes. The
dimension of the flow sensor is 9 mm × 9 mm × 1 mm. The
micro flow channel is mainly fabricated by anisotropic etching of
two silicon wafers, and the detection electrodes are fabricated
by metal evaporation process. The characteristic of the fabricated
flow sensor is obtained experimentally. When the flow rates
of water with the conductance of 100-200 ¥ìS/cm are 9.1 ml/min and
62 ml/min, the generated electromotive forces are 261 ¥ìV and 7.3
mV, respectively.
