Silicon piezoresistive sensors
Silicon piezoresistive sensors are devices that detect pressure or force by measuring changes in electrical resistance within silicon material. When pressure is applied, the silicon's internal structure slightly deforms, causing its electrical resistance to change. These tiny resistance changes are converted into electrical signals, allowing precise measurement of pressure, force, or strain. Widely used in medical devices, automotive systems, and industrial applications, they are valued for their accuracy, reliability, and ability to operate in various environments. Essentially, they turn mechanical pressure into an electronic signal for monitoring and control purposes.
