The University of Southampton ThickFilm Unit TFU was originally established in the Department of Electronics in 1985 to service the requirements of a transducer research group. This group originally pioneered the concept of the intelligent transducer and the thickfilm unit was initially used to explore the opportunities for fabricating lowcost miniature and robust electronic interface circuits suitable for incorporation within transducers. The benefits to be derived from these thickfilm fabrication techniques soon become evident and the unit rapidly grew in stature with the commencement of several research programmes in the area of thickfilm sensors. The 1989 review of advanced sensor technologies undertaken by the DTI reported that the Southampton group was emerging as a centre of expertise in a technology offering significant short to mediumterm scope for commercial exploitation. This prediction is rapidly being fulfilled with an ever increasing number of thickfilm sensors being made commercially available.
