We propose and demonstrate Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI), which is the refractive index (RI) insensitive and temperature highly sensitive based on etched multi-core fiber (MCF) structure. The MCF and Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) are used as hybrid sensing elements. The fabrication of the interferometer is provided a new taper-like structure by etching the MCF to further expose the side cores to the surroundings. The interferometer has produced a sensitivity of 103.2pm/°C within the ambient temperature up-to 70°C. Moreover, the superior temperature sensitivity is 89.19pm/°C, 66.64pm/°C, 56.42pm/°C in the range of 24°C to 130°C, and RI-insensitive in the range of 1.34 to 1.38, for different waists of etched seven-core fiber interferometers (E7CFIs) \sim ~84.70\mu \text{m} , 93.10\mu \text{m} , 108.67\mu \text{m} , respectively. Compared with the conventional FBGs, the sensitivity of the interferometer is significantly improved by 8 times. E7CFI\u27s novel and advantageous features can easily be distinguished other devices. Besides, the proposed sensing architecture is compact, easy to fabricate, highly sensitive, easy to reproduce, and makes it an inexpensive fiber optic device
