Abstract

Submicrometer dual-stripe temperature sensors made from a single piece of metal thin film (e.g., Pd) are developed. With the narrowest sensor being 900 nm in width, they show sensitivity of 1-2 μV/K for the full range of 10-300 K. The results confirm the size effect in Seebeck coefficient previously observed in microstripe sensors of the same device configuration.

Keywords: Seebeck coefficient; nanoscale; submicrometer; temperature sensors.
