The simulation and test results show that the test performance of the thick-film HFS is improved by optimizing the structure and parameters. Under the condition of no water cooling, the designed HFS can realize short-time heat flux monitoring at 1450 °C and long-term stable monitoring at 1300 °C and below.

Current designs rely on planar wafer- or chip-level integration, which is limited by pressure range, chip size, and low reliability. We propose a small-size temperature/high-pressure integrated sensor via the flip-chip technique. The pressure and temperature units are arranged vertically, and the sensing signals of the two units are integrated into one plane through silicon vias and gold–gold bonding, reducing the lateral size and improving the efficiency of signal transmission. The flip-chip technique ensures a reliable electrical connection. A square diaphragm with rounded corners is designed and optimised with simulation to sense high pressure based on the piezoresistive effect. The temperature sensing unit with a thin-film platinum resistor measures temperature and provides back-end high-precision compensation, which will improve the precision of the pressure unit. The integrated chip is fabricated by MEMS technology and packaged to fabricate the extremely small integrated sensor. The integrated sensor is characterised, and the pressure sensor exhibits a sensitivity and sensitivity drift of 7.97 mV/MPa and −0.19% FS in the range of 0–20 MPa and −40 to 120 °C. The linearity, hysteresis, repeatability, accuracy, basic error, and zero-time drift are 0.16% FS, 0.04% FS, 0.06% FS, 0.18% FS, ±0.23% FS and 0.04% FS, respectively. The measurement error of the temperature sensor and temperature coefficient of resistance is less than ±1 °C and 3142.997 ppm/°C, respectively.

The shape or position single-mode sensor in such devices often lacks comprehensive information to perceive interactive gestures. Meanwhile, the limited computing power of wearable applications restricts the multimode fusion of different sensing data and the deployment of deep learning networks. We propose a perceptive fusion electronic skin (PFES) with a bioinspired hierarchical structure that utilizes the magnetization state of a magnetostrictive alloy film to be sensitive to external strain or magnetic field. Installed at the joints of a hand, the PFES realizes perception of curvature (joint shape) and magnetism (joint position) information by mapping corresponding signals to the two-directional continuous distribution such that the two edges represent the contributions of curvature radius and magnetic field, respectively. By autonomously selecting knowledge closer to the user's hand movement characteristics, the reinforced knowledge distillation method is developed to learn and compress a teacher model for rapid deployment on wearable devices. The PFES integrating the autonomous learning algorithm can fuse curvature-magnetism dual information, ultimately achieving human machine interaction with gesture recognition and haptic feedback for cross-space perception and manipulation.</p><figure></figure>","PeriodicalId":18560,"journal":{"name":"Microsystems & Nanoengineering","volume":"42 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.9,"publicationDate":"2024-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141744693","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To overcome the primary limitation associated with PSi biosensors-namely, their relatively poor sensitivity due to issues related to complex mass transfer phenomena and reaction kinetics-we employed two strategic approaches: First, we sought to optimize the porous nanostructure with respect to factors including layer thickness, pore diameter, and capture probe density.

We demonstrated that tailoring the PSi aptasensor significantly improved its performance, achieving a limit of detection (LOD) of 50 nM-which is >1 order of magnitude lower than that achieved using previously-developed biosensors of this type. Moreover, integration into microfluidic systems that incorporated passive and active micromixers further enhanced the aptasensor's sensitivity, achieving an additional reduction in the LOD by yet another order of magnitude.
