Technological advancement serves as both a guarantee and an opportunity to accelerate the development of sensor technology. Over the past decades, microelectronics technology has driven the progress of sensor technology.diode  In the next 10 to 20 years, traditional silicon technology will reach its maturity phase (projected between 2014 and 2017). By then, 300mm silicon wafers will be extensively used in production, leading to unprecedented advancements in low-cost silicon manufacturing and silicon application technologies. This will undoubtedly provide technical support for the development and production of new types of sensors, such as microsensors and intelligent sensors. diode  From an overall development perspective, traditional silicon technology will persist until 2047 (the 100th anniversary of the transistor's invention) before reaching saturation (i.e., the limit of chip feature sizes) and decline. Meanwhile, current microelectronics technology will continue to follow two fundamental principles: the "equivalent scaling principle" and Moore's Law. While striving to approach the limits of traditional silicon technology, it will continuously expand interdisciplinary horizontal applications (e.g., MEMS) and breakthroughs in "non-steady-state physical devices" (quantum and molecular devices). These two major directions in microelectronics technology development represent the primary trends in sensor technology for the present and the next two decades.diode
