Abstract
A method of characterizing an array of resistive heaters, a first resistive heater of the array having a nominal sheet resistance, a first nominal length and a first nominal width, the method includes (a) providing a first configuration test resistor disposed proximate the first resistive heater, the first configuration test resistor including a second nominal length and a second nominal width, wherein the second nominal length is different from the first nominal length; (b) measuring a resistance of the first resistive heater; (c) measuring a resistance of the first configuration test resistor; and (d) determining the actual sheet resistance and the actual length of the first resistive heater based on the measured resistances of the first resistive heater and the first configuration test resistor.
