The heat resistance of a thin film thermistor is controlled by many factors, such as electrode firing conditions, SIC film formation conditions, and glass coating layer formation conditions, but it has been found that the glass coating layer formation conditions have a particularly large contribution. Ta. That is, as will be described in detail in the Examples, if the atmosphere during the formation of the glass coating layer contains a large amount of oxygen, the heat resistance of the thin film thermistor will decrease. The details of this cause are unknown, but when a thin film thermistor whose resistance value significantly increased in a heat resistance test was used and the contact area between the SIC film and the electrode film was lightly mechanically pressed with an insulating material, the resistance value significantly decreased. Therefore, during the formation of the glass coating layer, oxygen is present between the electrode film and the SIC.
It contributes to the formation of an insulating layer at the membrane contacts, resulting in
I think the resistance value will increase significantly. In the present invention, as described above, the glass coating layer is formed in an inert atmosphere. Since there is less oxygen during the formation of the glass coating layer, the contact area between the electrode film and the SIC film is stabilized, and the heat resistance is improved.

When the atmosphere during glass firing contains approximately 20% oxygen, when this thin film thermistor is left in the air at 500"C for 1000 hours, the resistance value changes by more than 10 times, and B The constant will be less than -20%. When containing about 0.1% oxygen, the resistance value in the above test was about 100% and the B constant was less than -10%. When containing about 100 ppm of oxygen, a similar test showed that the resistance value was within 10% and the B constant was within -2%.
