Semiconductor Temperature Sensor

A semiconductor temperature sensor is a device that measures temperature based on the electrical properties of a semiconductor material, typically silicon. As temperature changes, the electrical resistance or voltage across the semiconductor varies predictably. By analyzing these changes, the sensor provides accurate temperature readings. These sensors are commonly used in electronic devices, HVAC systems, and industrial applications because they are small, reliable, and can measure a wide temperature range with high precision. Essentially, they convert temperature variations into electronic signals that can be read and interpreted by electronic systems.
