A new line of heater sensor chips based on platinum on alumina and oxidised silicon can be used in a host of applications from microelectronics to biomedical engineering.

A new line of heater sensor chips based on platinum on alumina and oxidised silicon can be used in a host of applications from microelectronics to biomedical engineering Potential applications include determination of thermal resistance of IC chips, variable optical attenuation of arrayed waveguide gratings, and thermal management in miniature chambers (mini-cell arrays)

Available with two design options, the family comprises the TM365, with two thermal sensors in close proximity to the heater for extremely stringent temperature control, and the TM364 single-sensor design with moderate temperature control.

Both designs have operating temperatures up to 250C.

The self-heating of the sensors is below 4mW/C.

Application-specific custom designs can also be developed based on the customer's drawings.

Reliable operation is assured by SOTA's considerable experience and rigid quality controls.

Additional high-reliability screening can be provided to further enhance reliability.

Pricing is under $1.99 in production quantities, depending on design.

Current delivery is 12 weeks ARO.

Product samples and datasheets are available on request.
