Design Methodology and Technological Flow of Screen-Printed Thick-Film Sensors

In this paper, the design considerations and basic equations related to thick-film screen-printed sensing devices are included. The geometry of the device and the patterns of the functional sensing film, or of the electrodes are taken into account for the determination of the operational frequency, noise voltage, quality factor and other key parameters, related to the proper work of the resistive, capacitive and surface acoustic wave based...
