Piezoresistive Sensor : How They Works

Piezoresistive sensor is semiconductor sensor made of silicon. The resistive material is on a thin silicon membrane which on Pressure changes shows the value. So two terminologies needs to be explained – first is Sensor. We have about the sensor in our previous article named Sensor in Technology and Nature. We are not going in to details of Sensor in this article on Piezoresistive sensor. The terminology Piezoresistive is derived from combination of two words – Piezo and Resistive. Piezo is a Greek word and stands for pressure. Piezoresistive sensor changes resistivity due to force on it. These sensors are also known as piezoresistors.…
