Main description:

This book describes the various applications and sensing methods including optical, electrochemical, mechanical, and acoustical that silicon-based CMOS devices are being applied to and how these smart devices will interact with us in the future. From smell to sight to touch, CMOS-based microsensors will be used to monitor the health of our appliances, our homes and us and this book serves as a single-source reference to these sensing microsystems, from device operation to implementation to packaging.

Feature:

Covers basic operation of the various sensing methods as well as practical implementations

Includes a range of sensing modalities and sensor signal processing approaches based on CMOS Microsystems

Discusses integration of MEMS and microfluidic devices and CMOS sensor devices

Covers device basics, system design, system implementation, testing and applications
