MICROSENSORS

Microsensors are millimeter-sized structures that measure temperature, pressure, force, and other parameters. They are often constructed from silicon using fabrication processes like CVD and PVD. Microsensors range in size from 10 μm to 5 mm. They are classified by type, such as piezoresistive pressure sensors which use a membrane that changes resistance proportional to pressure. Microsensors have applications in areas like automobiles, environmental monitoring, manufacturing, military technology, and medical devices due to their small size, improved performance, reliability and lower cost compared to traditional sensors.

SENSORS CONTROLLER ACTUATORS

MICROSENSORS
TREND IN SENSOR TECHNOLOGY

• Miniaturization
• Integration (sensor, signal processing and actuator)
1. Sensor with signal processing for linearising sensor output, etc.
2. Sensor with built-in actuator for automatic calibration, change of sensitivity, etc.
• Sensor Arrays
1. One-function units (to improve reliability)
2. Multiple-function units
MICROSENSORS

• Microsensors are millimeter-sized two- and three-dimensional micromachined


structures that have smaller size, improved performance, better reliability, and lower
production costs than many alternative forms of sensors
• Typical sizes of microsensors range between 10 μm (0.01 mm or 10−5 m) up to 5 mm.
• Devices to measure temperature, pressure, force, acceleration, rotational velocity,
humidity, sound, magnetic fields, radiation, optical, biological, biomedical, and
chemical parameters are either in production or at advanced stages of research.
MICROSENSORS

• Materials: Microsensors are usually constructed


from a silicon semiconductor material, but are
sometimes fabricated from other materials, such
as metals, plastics, polymers, glasses, and
ceramics deposited on a silicon base.
• Fabrication Process: CVD (Chemical Vapor
Deposition)-LPCVD, PVD (Physical Vapour
Deposition).
CLASSIFICATION OF SENSOR
PIEZORESISTIVE PRESSURE SENSOR

• Piezoresistors integrated in the


membrane
• Pressure deflects the membrane
• Resistance changes propotional to
deflection and thus to pressure
• Resistance change measure with
Wheatstone Bridge
INTERDIGITAL TRANSDUCER SENSOR

• Interdigitasl transducers using capacitive


measurement are often used in chemical
sensors
• The capacitance can be adjusted by
changing the dielectric properties of the
sensitive layer.
• E.g. resistance of SnO2 sensitive layer
changes when it interacs with certain
substances.
