Abstract
One of the top design priorities for semiconductor chemical sensors is developing simple, low cost, sensitive and reliable sensors to be built in handheld mobile devices. In this chapter, we discuss critical issues for the realization of miniaturized and integrated chemoresistive thin film sensors based on metal oxides and introduce notable recent achievements.
