Thin-film platinum resistance temperature sensors: In the early 20th century, the development of platinum resistance temperature sensing technology, which combined the advantages of both thermocouple and thermistor technologies while overcoming their shortcomings, brought new opportunities for the advancement of temperature sensing. It measures temperature by taking advantage of the principle that the resistance value of platinum changes in a basically linear manner with temperature within a certain temperature range, and it boasts many technical advantages such as good stability, a wide measurement range, high precision, and good repeatability. After its release, the product quickly captured a certain market share. However, due to the high cost of wire-wound platinum resistors, which were the first to be developed for such applications, their practical use remains limited. In the mid-1990s, with the introduction of thin-film technology, the major manufacturers of temperature sensors around the world developed thin-film platinum resistor products. This product retains the performance advantages of traditional wire-wound platinum resistors, while at the same time **reducing production costs and enabling mass production. This completely eliminated the bottleneck that hindered the widespread use of platinum resistors, and they quickly replaced traditional temperature sensing elements such as thermistors and thermocouples in many fields. As soon as it was released, the product quickly dominated the market. To date, it has continued to maintain a high growth rate of over 9% per year. At present, there are only a few companies in the world that possess the technology for thin-film platinum resistance elements. To maintain a monopoly on this technology, the vast majority of these companies implement strict confidentiality measures. Most manufacturers still need to purchase components to assemble probes; otherwise, they are unable to produce qualified temperature sensors or probes. CRZ membrane platinum resistance chip (Japan) (Supplier’s website: Hanaeda Instruments www.ftco01.cn) The CRZ platinum film platinum resistance chip is a product of the revolutionary development in temperature sensors.
