  • Compared with methods such as sputter deposition and ion beam evaporation, inkjet printing offered a simpler and more efficient approach to directly deposit conformal multilayer high-temperature thin-film sensor circuits onto three-dimensional curved surfaces. A method for precisely manufacturing thin-film sensors using inkjet printing technology was proposed. The effects of nano-ink properties, as well as printing and sintering parameters, on the quality of film deposition were systematically investigated. Results demonstrated that high-quality, high-performance thin-film circuits can be successfully fabricated on ceramic or superalloy substrates. The thin-film sensor was calibrated up to 1100 ℃, with the mean Seebeck coefficient measured at 46.8 μV/℃. The repeatability of the fitted thermoelectric curves reached 99.96%, and temperature measurement error was ±0.21%.
