Sensors Measure Microwave Heating

Jack Browne  |  ED Online ID #22516 |  March 18, 2010

A line of microwave heater sensor chips from State of the Art, Inc. has been developed for a wide range of thermal management applications. Using platinum on alumina and oxidized silicon, the sensor chips are ideal for determining the thermal resistance of substrates and integrated circuits (ICs). The line includes the model TM365 with two thermal sensors in close proximity to the heater for extremely stringent temperature control, and the model TM364 single sensor with moderate temperature control. The self-heating of the sensors is below 4 mW/°C. Both devices are designed for use to +250°C.

I think the title is confusing, as the sensors have not much to do with microwaves. If used to monitor local temperature in microwave-heated objects, sensors and their connecting wires will be disturbing. There are other sensors for that purpose, based on liquid crystals on optical fibers that do not interact with mw field.
