Starting from the basic principles, this book surveys recent work on electronic noses and presents numerous practical applications. It stresses developments since the first meeting on electronic noses in 1991 and includes a comprehensive appendix, making it an invaluable resource for anyone researching electronic noses or machine olfaction.

Essential update on the development of new processing, packaging and assembly methodologies for microsensor devices, with new coverage on ‘system on a chip’ and ‘laboratory on a chip’ The miniaturisation of sensors has been made possible by advances in the technologies originating in the semiconductor industry, and the emergent field of microsensors has grown rapidly over the past ten years. This book updates the successful first edition (published in 1994) to cover the fundamental principles, developments and applications of microsensors. Two new chapters will be included and will provide coverage of both CMOS device processing technologies and smart sensors, in particular BioMEMS and the system-on-chip, lab-on-a-chip, and noise-on-a-chip. Other new sections will update the treatment of optical and magnetic sensors, MOEMS and smart sensor interfacing. Worked examples will be included to illustrate key processes and applications. The end-of-chapter problems will be revised and updated. This is an increasingly important area of research and development. Microsensors are a growing aspect of Microelectronics courses at final year undergraduate and postgraduate level. A thorough update of the well-received first edition is timely. <ul>

Microsensors: Principles and Applications

John Wiley&Sons, Inc.

Microsensors and MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical systems) are revolutionising the semiconductor industry. A microsystem or the so-called "system-on-a-chip" combines microelectronic circuitry with microsensors and microactuators. This emergent field has seen the development of applications ranging from the electronic nose and intelligent ear to micro-tweezers and the modern ink-jet nozzle. Providing a complete overview of microsensor technologies, this unique reference addresses vital integration issues for the successful application of microsensors, MEMS and smart devices. Features include: * Review of traditional and emerging fabrication processes including bulk and silicon micromachining, microstereolithography and polymer processing methods. * Focus on the use of IDT (interdigital transducer) microsensors in the development of low energy budget, wireless MEMS or micromachines. * Coverage of the katest applications in smart devices including the electronic nose, tongue and finger, along with smart sensors and strcutures such as smart skin. * An overview of the development of intelligent sensing devices through the use of sensor arrays, parametric compensation of sensor sugnals and ASIC technology. * Comprehensive appendices outlining vital MEMS material properties, relevant web sites and a guide to key institutions active in the field. Microsensors, MEMS and Smart Devices presents readers with the means to understand and evaluate microsystems. Advanced students and researchers in microelectronics, engineers and developers of microsensor systems will find this comprehensive treatment essential reading. Detailed coverage of material properties makes this an important reference work for mechnical engineers, physicists and material scientists working in the field.

Microsensors, MEMS and Smart Devices

The main microsensors described here are made using conventional thick and thin film technologies as well as more recent methods such as silicon micromachining. Following a chapter on basic signal processing, the book concentrates on microsensors—the processing of materials for their fabrication; the wide range of physical, chemical and mechanical principles employed and the benefits incurred from the application of smart sensors and microsensor array devices. Features numerous examples.

Electronic Noses and Olfaction 2000 reflects the state of progress toward the development and application of electronic instruments called electronic noses (e-noses). These instruments are generally based on arrays of sensors for volatile chemicals with broadly tuned selectivity, coupled to appropriate pattern recognition systems. They are capable of detecting and discriminating a number of different simple and complex odors, such as the headspace of coffee and olive oil, as well as being able to perform simple multicomponent gas analysis. Written by international scientists, engineers, technologists, clinicians, investigators, and instrument manufacturers working in the applied research of e-noses as well as in the applications of olfaction and taste, this volume is essential reading for anyone who wants a review of the latest developments in odor sensors, instrumentation and signal processing, and their medical, agricultural, and food-related applications.
