FOREWORD
Driven by the continued proliferation of more advanced electronic control systems to increase efficiency, users of sensors require ongoing advances in sensor accuracy, reliability, response time, robustness, miniaturization, and/or communication capability. The sensors industry is inherently robust and is well positioned to enjoy an upswing and experience sound growth during the next five years.
There have been advances in micromachining that have made it possible to produce micron-sized devices on a silicon wafer. This process of creating a mechanical device on a silicon wafer is very attractive for large volume applications using mass production processes. An important advantage of this technology is that silicon has been shown to be a very good material for use in sensors.
This 2011 Instrumentation and Sensors Research Review provides a sampling of the type of quantitative market information, analysis and guidance that has been aiding business decision making since BCC was founded in 1971.
