What is a semiconductor sensor?

Semiconductor sensor is a new type of semiconductor device, which can realize the mutual conversion of physical quantities such as electricity, light, temperature, sound, displacement, pressure, etc., and is easy to achieve integration and multi-function, more suitable for the requirements of computers, so it is widely used in automatic detection systems. Since most of the actual measured quantities are non-electrical quantities, the main work of the sensor is to convert non-electrical signals into electrical signals.

The advantages of semiconductor sensor are high sensitivity, fast response, small size, light weight, easy integration and intelligence, and can integrate detection and conversion.

The main application fields of semiconductor sensors are industrial automation, telemetry, industrial robots, household appliances, environmental pollution monitoring, medical care, medical engineering and bioengineering.
