At present, the automation experts are calling for: in complex system is more and more complex, automation has bottomed out, sensing technology is one of the main reasons behind, on the one hand, show the sensor in terms of sensory information behind; On the other hand also show the sensor itself in the field of intelligent and networked technology lag behind.

And technology to promote is to accelerate the development of sensor technology guarantee and opportunities. For decades, on the basis of microelectronics technology, to promote the development of sensor technology. In the next 10 to 20 years, the traditional silicon technology will enter the mature period (forecast for 2014 ~ 2017). When the diameter of 300 mm silicon wafers to a large number of used in the production, makes the application of low cost manufacturing technology of silicon and silicon technology will get unprecedented development, this will no doubt for the development and production miniature sensors, smart sensors and other new sensors to provide technical support. Look from the overall development, the traditional silicon technology will continue to 2047 (i.e., the 100th anniversary of the invention of the transistor) tends to saturation (that is, to the limit of chip feature sizes) and recession.

the displacement sensor, weighing sensor, pressure sensor technology has been mature, analytical instruments industry urgently needs new sensors. Analytical instruments is the foundation of our country science and technology, economic and social sustainable development, whether in the industrial process control, agricultural facilities, biomedical, environmental control, food safety and aerospace, national defense engineering, etc, are in urgent need of all kinds of new sensors as a source of information to absorb the miniaturization, specialty, Jane, obviously (personal) of a new generation of analytical instruments, more sensitive, more accurate, faster, more reliable real-time detection, in order to quickly change the backward condition of analytical instruments in China.
The current microelectronics will continue to follow & other; Such as shrinkage ratio principle & throughout; And & other Moore's law & throughout; Two basic laws, in trying to towards the traditional silicon technology limits, expanding silicon interdisciplinary applications (such as MEMS) and breakthrough & other; Transient physical devices & throughout; (quantum, molecular devices), and two direction in the development of the microelectronics technology is the current and main direction of sensor technology in the next 20 years.

At the same time, the multidisciplinary, cross fusion of a variety of new and high technology, promote the development and the birth of a new generation of sensors. For example: the current our country is focusing on the development of MEMS (microelectronics and micro mechanical Watson Wchangeorganisation ), MOMES (the combination of MEMS and micro), smart sensors and imopeningantcontesdiscolourtrememberivegrade, information control technology (MEMS), biochemical sensors (MEMS and biological technology, the combination of electrochemical) and will vigorously develop the network of sensors in the future.
