Popis: The paper presents an idea of a gradient direction sensor (GDS) which in the simplest case consists of three sensors properly placed and transforming signals from the measured domain to electrical ones. The voltage values obtained give (after computing) information about the gradient direction of the measured quantity and its absolute value. In the first approach we focus on the implementation of GDS to the temperature measurement of a single heat source placed on the surface of a semiconductor device. We propose an arrangement of a few GDSs in order to detect the presence of single heat source on the surface of an IC.
