CoGeQ project meeting at the CiS Research Institute
On 7th March 2025, the partners of the BMBF joint project “Competitive German Quantum Computer (CoGeQ)” discussed the current project status at the CiS Research Institute in Erfurt
Projektstart SAIn: Selbstregulierende kryogene Indium-Verbindung
/in QuantumThe new research project SAIn (Self-adjusting cryogenic Indium Interconnection) pursues the goal of a self-adjusting chip level package with an adjustment accuracy of ±1µm and better. It includes the development of the electroplating process for indium deposition to produce the indium contacts and the reflow process to remelt the deposited indium columns into indium bumps
Quantum 2025 – United Nations proclaims 2025 the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology
/in Events, QuantumThe German Physical Society is offering various events and activities under the motto “Quantum2025 – 100 years are just the beginning…”. The official opening of the Quantum Year 2025 is taking place today in Berlin. The CiS Research Institute is also dedicated to this future topic in several joint projects and is researching special quantum sensors and heterogeneous assembly and integration processes for quantum computers
Defect mechanisms in silicon – Four contributions at GADEST 2024
/in Events, MOEMS, QuantumFrom 8th-13th September 8 2024, the international conference series GADEST (Gettering and Defect Engineering in Semiconductor Technology) will take place in Bad Schandau. Together with research partners, the CiS Research Institute will present four papers on defect mechanisms in silicon with different dopants
On the way to the ASi-Sii qubit
/in Measurement, MOEMS, QuantumFor the possible use of ASi-Sii defects as qubits in quantum technology, their precise local generation is an essential prerequisite. At the CiS Research Institute for Microsensor Technology, local light centers in indium-doped silicon have now been generated and detected for the first time by local laser quenching
Highly sensitive low-noise blue-violet avalanche photodiode for diagnostics
/in MOEMS, Quantum, UVA research team from the CiS Research Institute has developed highly sensitive, low-noise avalanche photodiodes for the blue-violet light range. The new component structure and the associated optimized field distribution reduce the additional noise factor. These new BVAPs with very low noise are suitable for fluorescence analysis in biological and medical diagnostics, for example
Project start: QuBS – Quantum mechanical device simulation
/in MEMS, Quantum, Simulation & DesignVarious simulation strategies and models are used in the development of modern microsystems technology. In the new QuBS project, preliminary research is being carried out to improve the design and properties of MEMS components by means of simulation. Quantum mechanical modelling is used to describe the physical behaviour of the components
Sensor technology in transformation
/in Events, MEMS, MOEMS, QuantumAs a member of the board of the sensor cluster detect (SensorikNet e.V.) and managing director of the CiS Research Institute for Microsensorics, Prof. Thomas Ortlepp will give a talk today in the session “Smart Home – Sensor Technology” at the symposium “Sensorik im Wandel”. The event is the first joint initiative of the IVAM Microtechnology Association and the Thuringian Sensor Cluster “detect”
Project start DiaTip: Active diamond-based scanning probes for QUANTUM metrology and nanofabrication – development of hybrid assembly methods
/in MEMS, QuantumThe CiS Research Institute is partner of the started joint project “DiaTip”. Together with the partners, the efficient production of diamond tips as well as a suitable assembly process for the joining of two components “active microcantilever” and “diamond tip” shall be developed
Diamond as a sensory element and its properties and applications
/in MOEMS, QuantumOver a period of three and a half years, the project team in the BMBF joint project “DiaQuantFab – Diamond Materials for Industrial Applications” investigated and developed optical microsensor systems based on NV centers in diamond. A holistic approach was taken along the value chain from diamond production and manipulation to the finished sensor system. The selected sensor systems were magnetic field sensors for the application areas of position measurement technology, scanning probe microscopy as well as current measurement.
