Description:
Modern microelectronic technologies have enabled the production of many types electronic sensors using the specific properties of materials semiconductor devices most often exposed in MOS (Metal Oxide Semiconductor). These sensors are not similar to known solutions due to their occurrence in them physical phenomena typical of microelectronic structures. This lecture aims to discuss the basic groups of modern sensors microelectronics after a brief reference to known classical solutions in the each group. Because full understanding of the operation and application of micro sensors requires understanding of technological processes and knowledge in the field of digital buses coupling and special programming languages this lecture will begin the discussion microelectronic technology, and will complete the separation of electronic digital circuits and programming microcontrollers. Laboratory exercises: 1. Construction of a microprocessor based control system for operating sensors. 2. Programming of AT MEGA series systems in BASCOM language 3. Use of the completed system for measuring temperature using integrated sensors. 4. Pressure measurement with a semiconductor sensor KPY32 (Siemens). 5. Stress measurement with a semiconductor strain gauge in a LabView environment. Obligatory exam
Prerequisites:
Fundamentals of solid state physics, basics of electronics.
