Executive Summary

Thin-film sensors include sensors with thickness of 0.1 micrometer (μm) or smaller. Films with a thickness below 25 μm are generally divided into thick and thin films. The generally accepted industry definition of a thin film is a layer thinner than 5 μm. By comparison, a layer thickness above 5μm is usually defined as a thick film. For many years, the distinction between thin and thick film was determined not only by the layer thickness but also by the technologies employed to produce these films.

COVID-19 has impacted the thin-film sensor market, especially in industries such as automotive and healthcare. The technology is being implemented in remote sensing devices to monitor the health condition of patients and for patient self-care kits. Due to COVID-19 lockdowns and shutdowns of business operations, there was a drop in the demand for automotive and a decline in the sensor application, as well. The adoption of thin-film sensors is not only limited to healthcare and automotive, but also to the industrial sector for various applications: detecting harmful gases to maintain the safety of workers, maintaining the standard level of pressure and temperature in closed environments, analyzing and monitoring various equipment to enhance productivity. Most countries are adopting industry 4.0 and low carbon emission goals, which will further enhance the adoption of thin-film sensors across industries, worldwide.
