摘要： A resistant based thermal probe including a nanometer sized four-leg filament integrated with a piezoresistive AFM type cantilever is created by depositing the filament structure onto the cantilever by a chemical vapor deposition technique where the cantilever is exposed to the flux of precursor gas. An incident electron beam causes a fragmentation of the gas molecules leaving a deposit behind which leads to a conductive deposit shaped as a multi-leg filament structure for thermal measurements of a sample. A deposited four leg filament structure has a mechanical rigidity, high spatial resolution, low thermal conductivity and thermal capacitance, fast response time, and in combination with a four point resistant measurement and lock-in technique, eliminates resistivity for increasing both the temperature sensitivity and the signal-to-noise ratio of the thermal probe.

摘要： A structure for temperature sensors and infrared detectors. The structure is built-up on a substrate that includes a thermistor layer, wherein the resistance of the thermistor layer is temperature dependent. The substrate also includes an electric contact layer on both sides of the thermistor layer, and the resistance of the thermistor layer is measured between the contact layers. The thermistor layer includes a monocrystalline quantum well structure that includes alternating quantum well layers and barrier layers. One or more of the bandedge energy of the barrier layers, the quantum well layer doping level, the quantum well layer thickness, and the barrier layer thickness is adapted to obtain a temperature coefficient predetermined for the structure.

摘要： The present invention discloses a temperature sensor. The temperature sensor includes an aluminum oxide substrate and a thin-film resistor having a specific temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) disposed over the substrate. The temperature sensor further includes an aluminum oxide stress-relief layer covering the thin film resistor. The temperature sensor further includes a passivation layer covering the aluminum oxide stress-relief layer. The aluminum oxide stress-relief layer further has at least one resistor-trimming trench formed by removing a portion of the aluminum oxide stress-relief layer and thin-film resistor therefrom and the resistor-trimming trench is filled with a material of the passivation layer. In a preferred embodiment, the temperature sensor further includes a set of dummy pads for resistance-trimming measurement disconnected from the thin film resistor disposed on the substrate near the thin film resistor covered by the passivation layer. In another preferred embodiment, the temperature sensor further includes a set of sensor bonding pads disposed on the substrate electrically connected to the thin film resistor covered by the passivation layer. And, the temperature sensor further includes a set of platinum chip-leads bonded to the sensor bonding pads for temperature measurement connections.
