What should be the future development trend of sensor technology? How to grasp the direction?

Guangzhou Zhongxin Automation Technology Co., Ltd. has a different perspective on the development trend and direction of sensor technology!

With the development of natural sciences and the continuous progress of society, Guangzhou Zhongxin Automation has an increasing demand for sensors, which has also promoted the development of HBM sensor technology. The development of HBM sensor technology mainly has two directions: one is the research and development of the sensor itself; The other is the research and development of sensor systems connected to computers.

The development of HBM sensor technology itself relies on three aspects of progress, namely the development of new German sensor principles, research and application of new functional materials, and the development of new processing technologies.

With the further study of various physical properties of materials in physics and materials science, it is now possible to freely control the composition of materials and develop new materials. The most mature and widely researched materials among them are silicon materials and other derivatives, and many micro sensors are formed based on silicon materials. In recent years, ceramic materials have become increasingly popular in sensors, especially as their heat resistance compensates for the shortcomings of silicon materials. In addition, polymer materials and biological functional materials have played a significant role in promoting the research and development of new sensors. In recent years, the development of nanomaterials and nanotechnology has opened up new horizons for the development of sensor technology, forming new hotspots.

The development of micro processing technology has led to rapid progress in sensor manufacturing technology. Silicon planar technology, directional etching technology, mechanical cutting technology, and thin film and thick film technology have enabled the miniaturization and integration of multi-parameter and multifunctional sensors, thereby improving the spatial and temporal resolution of sensors and enabling them to develop towards one-dimensional, two-dimensional, and three-dimensional directions. At the same time, sensors, amplifiers, and actuators can be integrated together, making it possible for microsystems with both sensitive and control execution functions.

Learning from organisms is our goal, and many bioactive substances have been used in HBM sensors, forming the development direction of biosensors. Many new bioactive substances with specific recognition capabilities have been used in sensors, and remarkable new sensing principles and sensors have emerged. The emergence of biochips has effectively promoted the development of the human gene project.

Therefore, HBM sensor technology will develop faster supported by new principles, technologies, and materials. It is too early to predict the level of sensor development, but from its development trend, it is moving towards miniaturization, multi-parameter, multifunctional, and integrated development, and towards intelligent sensors.

In the future, intelligent sensors will no longer be simple German HBM sensors with microcomputer systems. They will not only have the ability to collect and store data, process signals, and compensate for errors (such as temperature and environmental conditions) in current microcomputer systems, but more importantly, they will have the ability to judge, self-learning, and even creativity.

If only we could know what the German sensors will eventually develop into, perhaps catching up with the sensory function of organisms is the highest ideal. In fact, engineering sensors are no more complex and exquisite than sensors born in organisms. Essentially, this is due to differences in the basic components of the device. Engineering sensors are simply combinations of components, while the organs of living organisms are composed of cells. Cells are very complex, and the proteins that make them are also very complex. It took them billions of years of evolution to reach this level. If we compare the complexity of cells to a supercomputer, the human body has approximately 50 trillion such supercomputers.

Therefore, both HBM sensor technology and future scientific development direction are approaching and imitating the human body. However, the degree to which we can approach depends on our efforts.
