T260 |
635-950 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Normally, heating up a glass or Si substrate with thin metal strips while measuring the resistance (RT) in these metal strips at certain temperature intervals (T) yields directly a linear relation, which can be fitted with RT/R0=1+αT−T0 [64], in which α is the the temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) value. |
T261 |
951-1117 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The thin-film TCR values have to be measured as they differ from the bulk TCR values due to its dependency on layer purity, grain size, and deposition method [65,66]. |
T262 |
1118-1298 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Belser and Hicklin also lists other attributes, such as surface roughness, porosity, and adsorbed materials present in or on the substrate which could influence the TCR value [64]. |
T263 |
1299-1368 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The bulk TCR values are 0.0034 K−1 and 0.0037 K−1 for Au and Pt [67]. |
T264 |
1369-1490 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The TCR characterizations of the metal strips on a COC substrate did not yield trustworthy TCR values at the first cycle. |
T265 |
1491-1656 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The first temperature cycle can be seen as a kind of thermal annealing, and therefore gives an hysteresis in the graphs, as can be seen in Figure A2 in Appendix C.1. |
T266 |
1657-1730 |
Sentence |
denotes |
After this first cycle, the values more or less show the linear behavior. |
T267 |
1731-1856 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The resulting TCR of this linear part is in agreement with the TCR ranges of Belser and Hicklin [64] and is given in Table 4. |
T268 |
1857-1992 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Belser and Hicklin used for their experiments substrates with coefficients of linear thermal expansion lower than 1.2 × 10−5 °C−1 [64]. |

T272 |
2304-2461 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Both Au [69,70,71] and Pt [72,73,74] are used as strain-sensitive gauges, and thus are sensitive to strain-induced geometry changes due to thermal expansion. |
T273 |
2462-2531 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Another effect influencing the TCR value of the metal layer is aging. |
T274 |

As can be seen in Figure A3 in Appendix C.2, the TCR value already changes after two weeks storing in ambient conditions. |
T275 |
2654-2722 |
Sentence |
denotes |
This could be due to adsorbed materials present on the surface [64]. |
T276 |
2723-2839 |
Sentence |
denotes |
However, in this device, the TCR is not of importance as the metal structure will not be used as temperature sensor. |

denotes |
Real-time temperature sensing is done using a thermocouple in the temperature monitor chamber. |
T278 |
