Abstract

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.
