Recent Trends and Applications of Materials used in Fabrication of Devices for Wireless Sensor Network

Abstract In recent times, wireless sensor network (WSN) have emerged as a promising technology providing opportunity to a variety of communication applications. They allow networking of communication devices to be assembled within the Internet of things (IoT), mobile/vehicular ad-hoc network and many more potential applications. To fabricate these sensors, different varieties of material are used. This paper discusses the research paradigm and futuristic scope of novel materials and their potential applications in devices for wireless sensor network and systems. The properties of these materials and the devices fabricated using these materials such as Hetero-junction Bi-polar Transistor (HBT), and Bipolar Field Effect Transistor (BiFET) have also been discussed. The motive behind such discussion is to acquaint the researchers with a diversified class of materials when thinking of designing devices for wireless communications systems.
