Description
Summary:The silicon-sensor field is more than 25 years old and people are beginning to wonder if silicon sensors will ever achieve the success anticipated at the start of these research activities. In answer to this question, I present an analysis of the present situation in the field of silicon sensors and discuss the markets in which they have a good chance of being more attractive than conventional sensors. I also unfold a strategy for the further successful development of silicon sensors.
