Abstract
The term sensor comes from the Latin word ‘sentire’ which means to perceive (Sze in Semiconductor sensors. Wiley, New York, 1994 [1]). In electronics sensors are a type of devices that converts some non-electrical input parameter (which we want to measure) into electrical signals having some correlation with the magnitude and nature of the input. Sensors have invaded every sphere of modern industry. In industrial automation, consumer electronics, automobile, space-exploration, medical sector, sensors are everywhere. One of the chief applications of sensors is for the detection of gases and chemical vapors.
