Platinum thin films were deposited on $Al_2$O$_3$substrate by DC magnetron sputtering for RTD(Resistance Thermometer Devices) temperature sensors. We made Pt resistance pattern on $Al_2$O$_3$substrate by lift-off method and fabricated Pt-RTD temperature sensors by using W-wire, silver epoxy and SOG(spin-on-glass). In the temperature range of 25~40$0^{\circ}C$, we investigated TCR(temperature coefficient of resistance) and resistance ratio of Pt-RTD temperature sensors. TCR values were increased with increasing the annealing temperature, time and the thickness of Pt thin films. Resistance values were varied lineally within the range of measurement temperature. At annealing temperature of 100$0^{\circ}C$, annealing time of 240min and thin film thickness of 1${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, we obtained Pt-RDT TCR value of 3825ppm/$^{\circ}C$ closed to the Pt bulk value.

Platinum-Cobalt alloy thin films were deposited on A1$_2$O$_3$substrate by magnetron cosputtering for RTD temperature sensors with wide temperature ranges. We made Pt-Co alloy resistance patterns on the A1$_2$O$_3$substrate by lift-off method and fabricated Pt-Co alley RTD temperature sensors by using Pt-wire, Pt-paste. We investigated the physical and electrical characteristics of theme films under various conditions, input power, working vacuum, annealing temperature and time, and also after annealing these films. The resistivity and sheet resistivity of these films were decreased with increasing the annealing temperature. At input power of Pt : 4.4 W/cm$^2$, Co : 6.91 W/cm$^2$, working vacuum of 10 mTorr and annealing conditions of 800$^{\circ}C$ and 60 min, the resistivity and sheet resistivity of Pt-Co thin films was 15${\mu}$$\Omega$$.$cm and 0.5$\Omega$/ , respectively, and the TCR value of Pt-Co alloy thin films with thickness of 3000${\AA}$ was 3740ppm/$^{\circ}C$ in the temperature range of 25∼600$^{\circ}C$. These results indicate that Pt-Co alloy thin films hove potentiality for the RTD with wide temperature ranges.

The physical and electrical characteristics of MgO and Pt thin-films on it, deposited by reactive sputtering and rf magnetron sputtering, respectively, were analyzed with annealing temperature and time by four-point probe, SEM and XRD. Under annealing conditions of $1000^{\circ}C$ and 2 hr, MgO thin-film had the properties of improving Pt adhesion to $SiO_2$ and insulation without chemical reaction to Pt thin-film, and the sheet resistivity and the resistivity of Pt thin-film deposited on it were $0.1288\;{\Omega}/{\square}$ and $12.88\;{\mu}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$, respectively. We made Pt resistance pattern on $SiO_2$/Si substrate by lift-off method and fabricated thin-film type Pt-RTD(resistance thermometer device) for micro thermal sensors by Pt-wire, Pt-paste and SOG(spin-on-glass). In the temperature range of $25{\sim}400^{\circ}C$, the TCR value of fabricated Pt-RTD with thickness of $1.0{\mu}m$ was $3927\;ppm/^{\circ}C$ close to the Pt bulk value. Resistance values were varied linearly within the range of measurement temperature.

Platinum thin films were deposited on Si-wafer by DC rnagnetron sputtering for RTD (resistance thermometer devices). We investigated the physical and electrical characteristics of these films under various conditions, the input power, working vacuum, temperature of substrate and also after annealing these films. The deposition rate was increased with increasing the input power but decreased with increasing Ar gas pressure. The resistivity and sheet resistivity were decreased with increasing the temperature of substrate and the annealing time at 1000.deg. C. At substrate temperature of >$300^{\circ}C$, input power of 7 w/cm$^{2}$, working vacuum of 5 mtorr and annealing conditions of 1000.deg. C and 240 min, we obtained 10.65.mu..ohm..cm, resistivity of Pt thin films and 3800-3900 ppm/.deg. C, TCR(temperature coefficient of resistance). These values are close to the bulk value. These results indicate that the Pt thin films deposited by DC magnetron sputtering have potentiality for the development of Pt RTD temperature sensor.

Platinum-Cobalt alloy thin films were deposited on $Al_2O_3$ substrates by co sputtering for RTD temperature sensors. We made Pt-Co alloy resistance patterns on $Al_2O_3$ substrate by lift-off method and investigated the physical and electrical characteristics of these films under sputtering conditions (; the input power, working vacuum), annealing conditions (; temperature, time) and also after annealing these films. After the annealing treatment at $800^{\circ}C$ for 60min, the resistivity and sheet resistivity of Pt-Co thin films was $0.0302{\mu}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ and $0.1{\Omega}/{\square}$, respectively, and the TCR value of Pt-Co RTD was $3600ppm/^{\circ}C$ in the temperature range of $25{\sim}400^{\circ}C$. These results indicate that Pt-Co thin films have potential for the excellent RTD temperature sensors.

RTD temperature sensor is a thermoresistor which uses the liner dependence of the resistance of the sensing material on the temperature, and has good stability and sensibility, so it can be used in highly precise temperature measurement. In this study RTD sensor was fabricated using Pt thin film. The Pt thin film was deposited on alumina using DC-Sputter, and annealed with various temperature. Through the experiments of XRD, AFM, 4-point probe, the surface structure of the thin film with annealing conditions and their effects on the electrical resistance were investigated. RTD with serpentine pattern was fabricated using Lift-off and resistance-temperature characteristics were studied.

This paper describes on the fabrication and characteristics of hot-film type micro-flowsensors integrated with Pt-RTD(resistance thermometer device) and micro-heater on the Si membrane in which MgO thin-film was used as medium layer in order to improve adhesion of Pt thin-film to SiO$_2$layer. The MgO layer improved adhesion of Pt thin-film to SiO$_2$layer without any chemical reactions to Pt thin-film under high annealing temperatures. Output voltages increased due to increase of heat-loss from sensor to external. The output voltage was 82 mV at $N_2$flow rate of 2000 sccm/min heating power of 1.2 W. The response time($\tau$:63%) was about 50 msec when input flow was stepinput

Platinum-Cobalt alloy thin films were deposited on $Al_2O_3$ substrates by r.f. cosputtering for RTD temperature sensors. We made Pt-Co alloy resistance patterns on the $Al_2O_3$ substrates by lift-off method and investigated the physical and electrical characteristics of these films under various conditions (the input power, working vacuum, annealing temperature, thickness of thin films) and also after annealing these films. At input power of Pt : $4.4 W/cm^2$. Co:6.91W/$cm^2$. working vacuum of 10 mTorr and annealing conditions of $1000^{\circ}C$ and 60 min, the resistivity and sheet resistivity of Pt-Co thin films was $15{\mu}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ and $0.5{\Omega}/{\square}$, respectively. The TCR value of Pt-Co alloy thin films was measured with various thickness of thin films and annealing conditions. The optimum TCR value is gained under conditions $3000{\AA}$ of thin films thickness and $1000^{\circ}C$ of annealing temperature. These results indicate that Pt-Co alloy thin films have potentiality for the high resolution RTD temperature sensors.
