Scalable Deposition of Nanomaterial-Based Temperature Sensors for Transparent and Pervasive Electronics

Figure 2

(a) Dimensions of one TC device containing four TC. The TC legs are all identical, 2.5 mm width and 27.5 mm length. The different colors in the drawing are indicating the different materials: in dark grey the material sprayed first, in light grey the material sprayed seconds, in green the contacts, which were made by the overlapping of both sprayed materials, and in yellowish color the substrate. (b) Layout of the laser-cut mask needed to spray the four TC structures. Two such masks are needed to produce one TC. The first mask is oriented as in the picture. The second mask is the same, rotated by 180°, to be placed superimposing the mask ends in alternate manner. This creates the pattern shown in (a).
