Abstract
To some degree, all semiconductor devices are affected by changes in conditions such as temperature, pressure, illumination, magnetic and electric fields. In many cases the effect of the change on one of the above quantities has a greater effect on the parameters of the device than do changes in other quantities. In the following, a number of materials used for the measurement of changes in physical quantities are discussed.
