Semiconductor Sensors [Hardcover]

An interdisciplinary work offering an introduction to the basic principles and operational characteristics of semiconductor sensors. Describes sensor technology, stressing bulk and surface micromachining. Considers a sensor group related to a special physical, chemical or biological input signal. The final chapter deals with integrated sensors. Each chapter includes a summary, problem sets and a discussion of future sensor trends.Classification and Terminology of Sensors (S. Sze).
