ABSTRACT:
A device for thermal sensing is based on only one thermopile. The junctions of the thermopile are coupled thermally to a first region which includes a first substance while the hot junctions of the thermopile are coupled thermally to a second region which includes a second substance. The first and second regions are separated and thermally isolated from each other. The device can further include a membrane to thermally and electrically isolate the thermopile and to mechanically support the thermopile.
