Sensistor is a resistor whose resistance increases exponentially with rising temperature due to its heavily doped semiconductor material. It is used in electronic circuits to compensate for temperature influence or to sense temperature for other circuits. Unlike other positive temperature coefficient thermistors, very heavily doped semiconductors in sensistors behave more like metals, resulting in a more gradual resistance change with temperature.

Sensistor is a resistor whose resistance changes with temperature.
The resistance increases exponentially with temperature, that is
the temperature coefficient is positive (e.g. 0.7% per degree Celsius).
Sensistors are used in electronic circuits for compensation of
temperature influence or as sensors of temperature for other circuits.
Sensistors are made by using very heavily
doped semiconductors so that their operation is similar to PTC-type
thermistors.
However, very heavily doped semiconductor behaves more like a
metal and the resistance change is more gradual than it is the case for
other PTC thermistors.
