The interplay between laser ablation and PVD coating. (a) The steel substrate is PVD coated with an interlay, Al2O3, and Ni. (b) Selective laser ablation of Ni to form an isolated path. (c) Resulting ablation pattern. (d) PVD coating with NiCr. (e) Laser ablation of NiCr. (f) The finished thin film sensor with a Ni and a NiCr conductor, which meet at one point to form a sensor
