Abstract
Sensor interconnects and supports and methods of making them utilize phonon disruptors for increased thermal resistance while maintaining acceptable electrical signal quality in materials. Phonon disruptors include the use of an electrically conductive alloy material or intermetallic material of at least two or more elements to promote scattering of phonons. These materials are selected to scatter heat carriers while allowing electrons to pass through the material.
