- Synopsis:
-
The cource describes the basic physical principles of semiconductor sensors and microsensors, classification, materials, production, static and dynamic parameters, errors, noise, design, integration, construction, processing of sensor signals, linearisation, calibration, smart sensors, application of sensor (temperature, pressure, optoelectronic, fibre optic, radiation, chemical and biochemical, mechanical, level and flow, ...) General design considerations of cost versus performance are thoroughly examined.
