Why are semiconductor strain gauges more sensitive than metal strain gauges?
Wiki User
∙ 9y ago
Semi-conducting materials changes in inter-atomic spacing resulting from strain affect the band gaps, making it easier for electrons to be raised into the conduction band while in metals, resistance change is mostly due to the change of geometry resulting from applied mechanical stress.

What is c2mos?
Clocked Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor
What is liquid metal strain gauge?
mercury in tube strain gage.
Why geranium is known semi conductors?
A geranium is a flower, and not a semiconductor. The element Germanium, however, is a semiconductor, which means it has an electrical conductivity somewhere between that of a metal and an insulator.
How does a Shockley diode work?
A Shockley diode uses a metal-semiconductor junction instead of a p-n semiconductor-semiconductor junction. This results in a device with a much lower forward bias voltage drop and much faster switching times.
What semiconductor allows current to flow in one direction?
That is a DIODE, which can be of any of these types:P-N junction (shown above)point contactschottky barrier (i.e. metal-semiconductor junction)
What is silicon an alkali metal alkaline-earth metal transition metal or a semiconductor?
"semiconductor"
CMOS full form?
Complementary metal-oxide semiconductor
What does cmo stand for?
It stands for: Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor
What is the difference between metal and semiconductor?
A semiconductor's resistivity decreases with increasing temperature. A metal's resistivity increases with increasing temperature.
Is titanium is a semiconductor?
No, titanium is a metal.
What is NMO?
N is the type of semiconductor, MOS refers to Metal Oxide Semiconductor device.
What is abbreviation NMOS?
N is the type of semiconductor, MOS refers to Metal Oxide Semiconductor device.
What are the differences between metal semiconductor and insulator?
comparsion table between semiconductor,conductorand insulator
What kind of semiconductor is produced by adding indium in semiconductor crystals?
it is metal.. so not used for doping.
Its kind like a metal and kind like a non metal?
you mean a semiconductor
What is cmos stand for?
Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor
In electronics what does MOS stand for?
Metal-Oxide Semiconductor
