Shaping of the characteristics of temperature-sensitive elements

A method for shaping the characteristics of temperature-sensitive elements is described, together with a practical example. The proposed method permits the shaping of characteristics of the temperature-sensitive elements in order to obtain the desired form. This method could be applied successfully to any temperature-sensitive element providing that the coefficient of the temperature-sensitive element is larger than that of the desired characteristic, and that the characteristic of the temperature-sensitive element does not change with the applied voltage.
