Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a thermistor comprising of the steps of:(a) forming a semiconductor body having opposed sides; (b) depositing a first electrode layer on at least a portion of each said opposed sides of said semiconductor body by a thick film deposition method, said first electrode layer comprising a conductive metal and having a thickness of from about 10 to about 40 micrometers; (c) depositing a second electrode layer on said first electrode layer, said second electrode layer comprising titanium and having a thickness of from about 0.05 to about 1.0 micrometer; (d) depositing a third electrode layer on said second electrode layer, said third electrode layer comprising platinum and having a thickness of from about 0.05 to about 2.0 micrometers; and (e) optionally, depositing a fourth electrode layer on said third electrode layer, said fourth electrode layer having a thickness of from about 0.3 to about 5.0 micrometers.
