The document discusses microsensors, including their manufacturing, classification, technical parameters, advantages, and applications. Microsensors are miniature electronic devices that detect physical and chemical signals or energy and convert them into output signals. Most microsensors are fabricated on silicon substrates using the same processing technologies as integrated circuits. Sensors can be classified based on the form of the measured signal, such as thermal, radiation, mechanical, magnetic, chemical, or biological. Key technical parameters include full scale input, full scale output, accuracy, calibration error, resolution, and drift. Advantages of microsensors include lower cost, smaller size, integration capabilities, lower weight and power consumption, and better performance. Microsensors have applications in automotive, medical, environmental,

INTRODUCTION
(Sensor is the word derived from a Latin word “sentire”
means “to perceive”)

 A miniature electronic device that detects


information about physical and chemical signals
or energy which otherwise couldn’t be
perceived directly by our senses.
 Detect an input signal(or energy) and convert it
into appropriate output signal(or energy).
MANUFACTURING
Most of the microsensors are fabricated on
a silicon substrate using same processing
technologies as those used for integrated
circuits.
Information Processing System
Input signal
Measurand is the quantity that is
(measurand) measured by a sensors.
Sensor is a device that convert a non-
electrical energy into electrical
energy.

Processor is a device that performs a


set of logical and mathematical
operations.

Actuator is a device that converts an


Output Signal electrical signal into a non-electrical
signal.
Classification Of Sensors
Form of Signal Measurand

Thermal Temperature, Heat, Heat flow, Entropy, Heat


capacity etc
Radiation Gamma Rays, X-Rays, Ultra-Violet, Visible, Infra-red
light, microwaves, radio waves etc.
Mechanical Displacement, velocity, force, acceleration, pressure
etc.
Magnetic Magnetic field, flux, moment, magnetization,
permeability etc.
Chemical Humidity, pH level and ion concentration, toxic
materials, concentration of vapours, pollutants etc.
Biological Sugar, Protein, Hormones, antigens etc.
Related Technical parameters
Full Scale Input(Span)
Dynamic range over which a stimulus can be converted
into span.
For broad span, it is expressed in decibels.
For power ratios: 1dB = 10log(P2/P1 )
For voltage ratios: 1dB = 20log(V2/V1)

Power Ratio 1.26 10.0 100.0 108


Voltage Ratio 1.12 3.16 10.0 10 4
dB 1 10 20.0 80
Contd…..

Full Scale output


Algebraic difference between the end points of the output

Accuracy
Really means inaccuracy
Highest deviation of a value represented by sensor
reading from the ideal or true value.
Contd……….

Calibration Error
Inaccuracy permitted by a manufacturer
when sensor is calibrated at the factory.
Contd…..

Resolution
Resolution is the minimum change of the
measurand value necessary to produce a
detectable change in the output or the smallest
increment of stimulus that can be measured.
Drift
Change in sensors performance within hours,
days or years.
Why Microsensors
>Lower manufacturing cost
>Small size.
>Wider exploitation of IC technology(integration).
>Lower Weight(great Portability).
>Reduced Power Consumption.
>Better sensitivity, accuracy, range and Reliability.
>Low hysteresis loss etc.
Applications
+Automotive Industry
+Medical Centre
+Environmental Application
+Food Industry
+Robotics etc….
