ABSTRACT:
A thermocouple consists of a first thin layer of metal disposed on a mylar sheet. The metal layer is then covered with a varnish by employing a printing process which prints spaced apart apertures on the metal layer indicative of a hot junction and a reference junction terminal. Another top metal layer is deposited upon the varnish layer in a line grating pattern to cover one hole in each pair to thus form a hot junction by connecting the top metal layer to the first layer via the hole. The other aperture forms one terminal of the reference junction. The metal layers are extremely thin as deposited by a vapor evaporation process and hence the thermocouple exhibits a rapid response to temperature change. The method of fabrication of the devices enables one to provide mass produced units at extremely low cost.
