Some Applications of Interdigital Sensor for Future Technologies

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Smart Sensors, Measurement and Instrumentation ((SSMI,volume 36))

Abstract

This chapter focuses on the application of Interdigital sensors considering future technologies. The interdigital sensor is interdigital electrodes with a dielectric. The geometric and physical structures with different types of dielectric materials formed a variety of sensor and transducer designs. Its physical and chemical principles behind the operation vary so much in different fields of science and technology, generating varieties of applications in reality. The chapter of the book highlights a few important applications of interdigital sensors considering capacitive, dielectric, piezo acoustic, chemical, biological, and micro-electro-mechanical varieties. These applications may play a great role in future technologies.
