The recent Trillion Sensor Summit 2015 celebrated the dominance that sensors are enjoying in a world being flooded with sensor-studded smartphones and other smart devices-not just MEMS sensors anymore-but a whole array of semiconductor sensors that have spun-off from MEMS. The Trillion Sensor or TSensor Summit, founded by serial entrepreneur Janusz Bryzek, was organized for the first time this year by the newly renamed MEMS & Sensor Industry Group (formerly MIG).

"For decades, sensors were on sidelines of the semiconductor industry," Bryzek said in his opening remarks to the Trillion Sensor Summit. "Apple's iPhone changed all that, triggering a sensor tornado of 10 million MEMS sensors in 2007-the year of the iPhone's introduction-that has grown to 15 billion sensors in 2015."

Two years ago, Bryzek promised a roadmap document, which would accurately plot the path that the explosive growth of sensors would make on the way to one trillion by 2025. However, his methodology proved ineffective, prompting him and his collaborators to split the project into two parts, both under Bryzek's supervision.
