Cernox thin film resistance temperature sensors offer a negative temperature coefficient, monotonic response over a wide temperature range, low magnetic field induced errors and high resistance to ionizing radiation. Thin film resistance temperature sensors offer significant advantages over comparable bulk or thick film resistance sensors. The new thin film sensors offer a smaller package size which makes them useful in a broader range of experimental mounting schemes and they are available in a chip form. Additionally, they have proven to be very stable over repeated thermal cycling and under extended exposure to ionizing radiation. Furthermore, these thin film sensors are easily mounted in packages designed for excellent heat transfer, yielding a characteristic thermal response time much faster than possible with bulk devices requiring strain-free mounting
