Abstract

Inexpensive Mn or Mg ferrites may be used as negative temperature coefficient thermistors. Fabrication of devices with the desired high temperature coefficients is facilitated by a processing method which forms a thin layer of oxidized and high resistivity material on a low resistivity layer of ferrite material.
