The first comprehensive text on microhotplate-based chemical sensor
systems in CMOS-technology covers all aspects of successful sensor
prototyping: theoretical considerations for modelling, controller- and
system design, simulation of circuits and microsensors, design
considerations, microfabrication, packaging and testing. A whole family
of metal-oxide based microsensor systems with increasing complexity is
presented, including fully integrated sensor arrays. This represents one
of the first examples of integrated nanomaterials, microtechnology and
embedded circuitry.
