By detecting the equivalent change in electrical resistance of semiconductive materials like silicone, piezoresistive sensors measure force.
A semiconductor material with a p-type area diffused into an n-type base is utilised to create a piezoresistive sensor. When the sensor is compressed or stretched, the resistance of this changes significantly.
This is widely used as a strain gauge since it yields a gauge factor that is substantially higher than what metal wire or foil gauges can provide. Additionally, the measurement uncertainty can be decreased to 0.1%. Additionally, it is utilised in semiconductor accelerometers and semiconductor-diaphragm pressure sensors.
Added polarisation effects are considered to provide piezoresistive sensors excellent sensitivity. Their technique is still challenging, though, and different sensor structure arrangements have been studied, frequently with the sapphire substrate remaining in place.
Schottky diodes and metal-insulator semiconductor (MIS) diodes have also been employed, as well as N-type and P-type GaN.
global piezoresistive sensor market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
The new 4017A piezoresistive absolute pressure sensor from Kistler has been released. Piezoresistive (PR) pressure sensors are made of a Wheatstone bridge based on silicon that, when subjected to pressure, changes its electric resistance.
Because of the PR effect, the sensor element is essentially drift-free, making it perfect for measuring static pressures. The sensor works well in hydraulic and pneumatic applications as well as engine development.
Due to their capacity to record quickly varying pressures even in low-pressure levels, the PR pressure sensors can also be utilised for dynamic pressure measurements.
Due to the need for precise measurements in the engine’s fuel and air paths, as well as for subsystem development in cooling and brake systems, these sensors have become a typical option in automotive applications.
The tiny absolute PR pressure sensor has been meticulously engineered for maximum accuracy and reliability, with a mounting size of just M5x0.5. It offers a very high level of media compatibility for both gaseous and liquid media, and its oil-filled measuring cell is media-isolated by a stainless-steel diaphragm.
