Embodiment Construction
[0020] The inventors have found that the sensitive layer of a small thermal sensor degrades mainly on the high voltage (Vh) side that powers the resistive track, especially when integrated circuit fabrication techniques are used to generate the sensor, Figure 1A shown in area D. The inventors attribute this effect to the electric field experienced by the sensitive layer. In fact, the supply voltage Vh of the resistive track can be quite high, as high as 5.7V, and in integrated circuit technology the distance between the resistive track and the conductive track of the electrode can be particularly small, so that on the side of the resistive track at the highest voltage A strong electric field is established at the intersection of each electrode and the resistive track. The first damage to the sensitive layer does occur at these lane intersections.
[0021] To avoid this degradation caused by the electric field, moving the resistive track away from the electrode does not actua...
