In this paper, we describe a thermal-type blood flow microsensor that is inserted in a blood vessel and used to detect the flow rate change caused by a thrombus. The sensor is based on a Ti microneedle, on which a Pt microheater and a Pt-Au microthermocouple are formed. The microneedle was fabricated from a Ti sheet of 50 μm thickness by electrochemical etching and chemical etching in succession. The characteristics of the fabricated sensor were evaluated in flows of water and a viscous fluid in an artificial flow channel 1.2 mm in diameter. At a safe heating level (≤ 42°C), the sensor could measure a flow velocity of up to several cm/s. The sensor has high sensitivity in the flow velocity range of 0–1 cm/s, indicating that it can detect the blood flow reduction due to a thrombus in a vein.
