Abstract:
A dryness/wetness responsive sensor having decreased size, and improved sensitivity and responsiveness. The present invention comprises a thin wire of a first metal and a thin wire of a second metal, which is different from the first metal, wherein the thin wires run in juxtaposition with each other on an insulating substrate, and wherein the spacing between the first thin wire and the second thin wire is in the range of 5 nm or more and less than 20 μm.
