Summary

INDIUM THINFILM RESISTANCE THERMOMETERS ABOUT 1 MICROMETER THICK WERE FABRICATED, USING A MAGNETRON-SPUTTER METHOD, ON CERAMIC SUBSTRATES. THE THIN FILM WAS CUT SPIRALLY USING A FINE LASER BEAM TO ACHIEVE A RESISTANCE BETWEEN 100-500 OHM. SAMPLES WERE INVESTIGATED AT TEMPERATURES FROM 2 TO 300 K. THE DATA SHOW TYPICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF PURE METAL RESISTANCE THERMOMETERS DOWN TO 6 K. NEAR 6 K, HOWEVER, THE RESISTANCE DECREASED ABRUPTLY AND IN THE RANGE BETWEEN 6 TO 4.2 K, THE TEMPERATURE COEFFICIENT WAS FOUND TO BE 25,000 PPM/K.
