ABSTRACT:
Thermal sensor (36) may include a thermally sensitive element (50), a first thin film electrode (52) and a second thin film electrode (54). The thermally sensitive element (50) may include a plurality of preferentially-ordered crystals. The first thin film electrode (52) may include a plurality of digits (53) in communication with the thermally sensitive element (50). The digits (53) of the first thin film electrode (52) may be in spaced relation with one another. The second thin film electrode (54) may include a plurality of digits (55) in communication with the thermally sensitive element (50) opposite the first thin film electrode (52). The digits (55) of the second thin film electrode (54) may be in spaced relation with one another and in spaced interposed relation with the digits (53) of the first thin film electrode (52).
