| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A miniature sensor to detect both proximity and touch force has been investigated.Touch force can be detected as deflection of micro structures in silicone rubber. On the other hand, proximity can be detected as conductivity change in semiconductor by reflected light from the object. Moreover, in the case of transparent object or extremely short distance, proximity can be detected as change of electric field distribution around the sensor instead of an optical method.
