The temperature coefficient of resistivity (TCR) of Pd thin film with different thicknesses and annealled at different tempertures has been investigated. The experi-mental results indicated that the TCR value of thin films is much smaller than that of bulk material and it also depcnds on grain size of the thin films. It was found that the TCR is higher for larger grain size. The result is explained readily by using the two-fluid model.
