Whether for air quality, safety or control, sensor applications have one common

requirement: a reliable sensor component. AppliedSensor’s ability to micro-

machine sensor chips using standard silicon wafer technology allows to produce

consistently reliable sensors in high volumes for mass market applications.

Unique micro machined, low power sensor design

AppliedSensor’s high-performance ML sensor components offer reduced power

consumption and increased packaging flexibility. The sensors are produced by

combining the benefits of thick film, thin film and patents pending technologies

on silicon substrate. Heater and interdigital electrode structures are positioned on

a 1 µm-thin membrane on top of which is deposited a tin dioxide sensitive layer

that creates gas concentration-dependent conductivity.

The sensor component has high sensitivity and selectivity to natural gas and is

packaged in a standard TO-39 (solid TO-5), 4-pin header. For further cost effi-

ciency, the low heat-generating micro-machined chip may be adhered directly to

a printed circuit board (Chip on Board packaging).

In addition to sensor design, AppliedSensor offers complete CH

development including full electronics integration.
