Abstract:
The invention relates to a force sensor based on an organic field effect transistor (10) that is applied to a substrate (1; 11). According to the invention, a mechanical force that acts on the transistor causes a corresponding modification of the source-drain voltage or the source-drain current (ID), whereby said modification can be respectively detected as a measured variable (Vmess, Imess) for the exerted force. The invention also relates to a membrane-based pressure sensor that uses a force sensor of this type, to a one- or two-dimensional position sensor that uses a plurality of force sensors of this type and to a fingerprint sensor that uses a plurality of force sensors of this type.
Abstract:
A force sensor based on an organic field effect transistor applied on a substrate is disclosed. In one embodiment, a mechanical force acting on the transistor causes a change in its source-drain voltage or its source-drain current which corresponds to said force and which can in each case be detected as measurement quantity for the acting force, a diaphragm-based pressure sensor that uses a force sensor of this type, a one- or two-dimensional position sensor that uses a multiplicity of force sensors of this type, and a fingerprint sensor that uses a multiplicity of such force sensors.
