ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor sensor has a plurality of field-effect transistors disposed on a semiconductor substrate at spaced intervals. The field-effect transistors have respective drains electrically connected parallel to each other, respective sources electrically connected parallel to each other, and gates electrically connected parallel to each other. While a gate bias voltage is being applied to each of the field-effect transistors, a stress applied to the semiconductor substrate is detected based on a change in a combined output of the field-effect transistors. A single comb-shaped field-effect transistor or a single planar type field-effect transistor may be employed instead of the plurality of field-effect transistors.
