As it is cost-effective sensor solution and in IoT, the devices majorly focus on large scale deployments.
For instance, on 30 May 2023, A new line of temperature and humidity sensors was unveiled by iMatrix Systems, a U.S. based developer of Internet of Things solutions, for use in a variety of industries, including agricultural, food storage, pharmaceuticals and transportation monitoring. The NEO Series sensors can measure temperatures between -40°C and 125°C and relative humidity levels between 0 and 100 percent.
Drift OverTime and Potential Errors
Semiconductor sensors can be sensitive to temperature variations, which may affect their accuracy. Calibration and compensation techniques are often required to mitigate this limitation. Some semiconductor sensors may not be acceptable for measurements outside their designated range or under harsh conditions because they have a limited functioning range. The output measurements of semiconductor sensors may gradually change due to drift over time.
Ionizing radiation is harsh on semiconductor sensors, which has an impact on the way they work in radiation-exposed situations. Although semiconductor sensors can be made to consume little power, some applications can still call for more energy-efficient options, particularly in battery-powered devices. Some semiconductor sensors may exhibit cross-sensitivity to environmental factors other than the target parameter, leading to potential measurement errors.
