Abstract:
1. A sensor comprising: a resistor deposited on a substrate, said resistor exhibiting a change in resistance with a change in ambient temperature, said resistor comprising a noble metal and an oxide selected from the group consisting of yttrium oxide, cerium oxide, zirconium oxide, and combinations of these; a first conductor formed from a first conductor material, said first conductor electrically connected to said resistor; a second conductor formed from a second conductor material, said second conductor electrically connected to said resistor; and a sheath enclosing at least said resistor, said sheath formed of a sheath material having at least one noble metal and an oxide selected from the group consisting of yttrium oxide, cerium oxide, zirconium oxide, and combinations of these; said sheath being electrically insulated from said first and said second conductors.
