Hi,Dear Salehi

Read what Jerónimo Quesada said above and then generate a callibration curve with 3 or 4 points (and several measuremts at each point).
You migt also try with paralel resistor switched to NTC. You will obtain less temperature senstitivity but simultaneousoly better linearity of the temperature characteristics. I think , best if you apply standard PT100 sensor instead of NTC together with appropriate instrumentation calibrated amplifier usually available from any supplier of automation equipment.
This maker of NTC controllers has some good info on the subject in this document:

It is usually best to accurately record resistance, being careful to avoid heating the thermistor with the measurement current, and then linearize and calibrate digitally.
Also consider if NTC is the best choice, many electronic sensors are quite linear of the shelf. Thermocouples and Pt100 are better alternatives for many applications. Thermistors are often a good choice for sensitive differential measurements, but less so for high absolute accuracy.
If the 0.5C temperature measurement accuracy is acceptable, I recommend TMP275 or TMP112 digital output temperature sensor from Texas Instruments. I think you will get best cost-to-performance index.

The best choice may be LM35DT, becasuse
1- the output voltage is linearly proportional to the Celecius
2- its casing is TO220 so can be easily mounted on a heatsink
3- it is cost effective and widely available in market (also in Iran)
