Abstract
There is provided a substrate detection device including a sensor unit configured to extract electrons by oxidizing a substrate, the substrate being a test target, a capacitor connected in series to the sensor unit, and a circuit configured to measure a voltage across terminals of the capacitor. The substrate detection device determines a concentration of the substrate based on the voltage across the terminals of the capacitor.
