  • Thermal sensor array and methods of fabrication and use
    Patent number: 6180867
    Abstract: A thermal sensor array includes a dielectric layer including a plurality of individual thermal sensors and a pattern of deposited electrical interconnections facing at least one surface of the dielectric layer for providing electrical connections from each of the plurality of individual thermal sensors, the dielectric layer and the pattern of deposited electrical interconnections being surface-conformable. The thermal sensor array can be used in a diagnostic tool that further includes: a scanning device coupled to the pattern of deposited electrical interconnections for obtaining sensor signals from the thermal sensors; and a computer for processing the sensor signals to estimate temperature distributions.
