Semiconductor Device-Based Sensors for Gas, Chemical, and Biomedical Applications

Fan Ren works with the University of Florida, Gainesville. Stephen J. Pearton works with the University of Florida, Gainesville.

This book provides a missing critical piece in the sensor literature. Until now, a scientist or engineer could only read general-interest books in the sensor area; a practitioner was forced to scour through piles of research articles to find the details on state of the art sensor technology. This work by Pearton and Ren brings together the theory and experimental descriptions of advanced sensor technology in one book. This book is a must have for any engineer or scientist working in the chemical, gas, or biological sensor field. … The editors have written hundreds of excellent research and review articles, and the chapter authors are the preeminent scientists in the sensor field— Michael Mastro, US Naval Research LabSemiconductor sensors are playing an important role in broad range of applications. This book is edited by two internationally renowned scientists in the field of semiconductors and sensors. This book covers a broad range of wide bandgap semiconductor based sensors. Book chapters are very comprehensive and cover recent developments in the field by leading experts.This book will be an excellent reference volume for experts and new comers of the field. This book is very timely and covers broad topics of international interest. — Chennupati Jagadish, Australian National University
