Theory, technology and applications of piezoresistive sensors: A review
Abstract
Abstract Sensors based on the detection of small resistance variations are universally recognized as piezoresistive. Being one of the simplest, most common and most investigated classes of sensors, continuous efforts are focused on creating improved devices with higher performance that can be used in many commercial and non–commercial applications (e.g. evaluation of strain, pressure, acceleration, force etc.). Consequently, despite the fact that more than 150 years have passed since the discovery of the piezoresistive effect in some classes of metals and semiconductors, the development of such sensors remains interesting and topical. Moreover, with the advent of second–generation robotics, research on piezoresistive sensors has undergone a massive increase. This paper aims to be a short, self–consistent vademecum which would be useful to researchers and engineers, since it focuses on the fundamentals of theory, materials, and readout–circuit design pertinent to the most recent developments in the field of piezoresistive sensors.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
