- the metal oxide of the mixture may be MgO and / or BaO.
- the Blending with Al 2 0 3 has the advantage that the thermal expansion coefficient of the intermediate layer by adjusting the Al 2 0 3 content varies and so can be optimally adapted to the respective material pairing of the carrier and the platinum thin-film structure and to the thermal and mechanical requirements ,
- the wave-shaped conductor can form a plurality of comb-like fingers of an electrode.
- the strip conductor arrangement is constructed meander-shaped.
- Ladder forms a superstructure.
