PURPOSE: To provide highly accurate temperature measuring device and method with a simplified structure.
CONSTITUTION: In a temperature measuring device 1 including a temperature measuring part 3 disposed on a silicon plate 2 at a predetermined location of the same, a predetermined capacity recess 4 is provided in the upper surface of the silicon plate 2, and a space in the recess 4 is brought into a closed state by depositing a thin film 5 in the recess 4, into which space gas is introduced at a predetermined pressure. The silicon plate 2 is heated and the gas in the recess 4 is expanded, so that the thin film 5 deposited in the recess 4 is swelled out. Temperature of the silicon plate 2 is determined by measuring the swelled height of the thin film 5.
