Abstract:
The present invention improves the sensitivity and the responsiveness of a dryness/wetness responsive sensor utilizing a galvanic current, allowing for downsizing of the dryness/wetness responsive sensor. Instead of the conventional structure in which an anode electrode and a cathode electrode are stacked with an intervening insulator, the present invention employs a structure in which both electrodes run in juxtaposition with each other on an insulating substrate in the form of, for example, a comb-shaped electrode as shown in the drawing. By utilizing a semiconductor manufacturing process or any other micro/nano-fabrication technology, an inter-electrode distance can be extremely shortened as compared with the conventional sensors, allowing enhancing the sensitivity per unit footprint of the electrodes. Accordingly, a decrease in the size of the dryness/wetness responsive sensor can be easily achieved.

Claim (Index 24):
The dryness/wetness responsive sensor according to  claim 14 , wherein the insulating substrate comprises an opening portion passing through from one side to an opposite side of the insulating substrate, and the opening portion is obtained by removing at least a part of the insulating substrate corresponding to the spacing between the thin wire of the first metal and the thin wire of the second metal.
