摘要
Aluminum thin film resistors are proposed for use as temperature sensors for the compensation of the thermal sensitivity and offset shift of pressure sensor output. An experimental investigation of Al films with different thicknesses and heat treatment was carried out in order to optimize the electric parameters of such temperature resistors. It was found that films with a thickness 1.2 mu m and thermal etched at 330 degrees C for 72 h have good long-time stability, a specific resistance of 2.85 mu Omega cm and a temperature coefficient of resistance of 4.33 x 10(-3)/degrees C. Th, obtained results indicate that Al resistors can be used in an electrical circuit for the passive temperature compensation of the thermal shift of pressure sensor output within a temperature range of up to 125 degrees C.
