Abstract
According to the present invention, a temperature sensor for high temperature comprises a ceramic plate on the surface of which is provided a thermistor layer, electrodes connected to the thermistor layer, and the thermistor layer containing ZnCr.sub.2 O.sub.4. It is preferable that the thermistor layer contain a resistance conditioning agent composed of either ZnO or Cr.sub.2 O.sub.3 or both, and that it contains at least one of the sintering auxiliaries selected from the group: SiO.sub.2, CaO, MgO, CaCO.sub.3, kaolin, and talc. Accordingly, it is possible to obtain stable resistance-temperature characteristics at high temperature as well as superior heat resistance.
