Microheater made of heavily Boron doped single crystal Si beam covered with SiO2 film, 1000×300×3 μm, is fabricated on the n type Si substrate by the anisotropic etching technique. As this microheater has an air bridge structure of low resistivity semiconductor material with positive but small temperature coefficient of resistance, a broad heating area up to 800 °C is easily obtained and it has quick response with the thermal time constant t of about 4 ms and has small power consumption. Since this heating area is made of p type layer in the n type substrate,this area can be electrically isolated from the substrate because of the formation of p-n junction.
