Abstract
The invention relates to sensors comprising a substrate, a platinum component having a first surface facing toward the substrate and a second surface facing away from the substrate, a protective covering over the platinum component, the protective covering comprising one or more layers, at least on of which is an oxygen getter material, a lower surface in physical contact with the second surface of the platinum component, and an upper surface; and a method for forming such a sensor. The protective covering with oxygen getter material protects the platinum component against oxygen dissolution therein, thereby reducing sensor drift.
