Abstract:
The invention relates to a circuit arrangement comprising an SMD-component (1), in particular a temperature sensor with a thermistor element (1), having two electroconductive contacts (2a, 2b), which are each conductively connected to a conductor track (3a, 3b) provided on a substrate (4). A firm, mechanical connection as well as a good electroconductive connection between the SMD-component and the conductor tracks is achieved in that the contacts (2a, 2b) are each made of a metal-glass layer (6) forming the connection to the conductor tracks (3a, 3b), and in that the metal-glass layer (6) is manufactured by heating a glass particle-containing metal until melting or softening of the glass particles occurs. The invention also relates to a method of manufacturing a temperature sensor and to a method of manufacturing such a connection.

A coating solution is then prepared by adding and mixing an organic acid having a carboxyl group to the alcohol solution. The coating solution is coated on the surface of a heat-resistant substrate to form a coating film, the substrate on which the coating film is formed is dried and subjected to heat treatment to form a composite oxide precursor containing a metal of the above metal compound, and the precursor is calcined at a temperature of 600.degree. to 1000.degree. C. The method of the present invention can form a thermistor thin film which is dense and uniform over a wide range by simple and easy operations at a low cost.
