They require a large number of temperature sensors. Most often, low-cost Allen-Bradley resistors are used for this purpose. Since they have poor sensitivity and reproducibility above 4 K, sensor alternatives that combine the precision of Cernox sensors with the low-cost of Allen-Bradley resistors would be highly desirable. In this work various semiconductor components that exhibit a temperature dependent electrical response, such as diodes and LEDs were analyzed with respect to sensitivity, reproducibility and response speed in a temperature range between 6.5 K and 22 K. In this range, many diodes and LEDs were found to be more sensitive than Cernox sensors. However, in some components the response time was slow - possibly due to poor thermal contact.}}, }
