Two-dimensional transparent Ag/Al metal temperature sensor

Abstract

Room-temperature thermocouple with good sensing properties is getting attracted increasingly because of their low power consumption and remarkable stability. Our study is based on the design and construction of a prototype transparent temperature sensor using thermocouple. 2D temperature thin film sensor was fabricated using magnetic masking. Thermocouples were made with thin-film, which showed a steady and reproducible temperature response. A potential difference was also shown for per degree temperature change. The transparency is obtained by special type of magnetic masking for thin-film process.
