Abstract
A structure of alternating layers of titanium and an insulator or semiconductor material has temperature-sensitive electrical resistivity. In combination with a resistance-measuring circuit, such structure can serve as an accurate temperature sensor. And, since electrical resistivity is inversely related to temperature, disclosed structures can serve as miniature thermistors in integrated circuit devices.
