Trade fair premiere at the Asia Photonics Expo (APE) 2025 in Singapore
The leading photonics exhibition in the ASEAN region will take place from 26th-28th February at Marina Bay Sands. At the special exhibition area Photonics + Europe presented by IVAM, EPIC and W3+ of IVAM, at booth C206, the CiS Research Institute will present an excerpt of its portfolio and Prof. Thomas Ortlepp will give a lecture on “Photonic Quantum Sensor Based on Diamond NV-Centers – Hybrid Integration and Performance Evaluation”
Project start NIVO2: Novel isothermal thermopile infrared sensor
In the new research project NIVO2, a novel isothermal solution is to be investigated in order to minimize instabilities and errors in the functionality of thermopile sensors under harsh environmental conditions. In addition, a front side etching process for the production of thin membranes will be developed and integrated into the thermopile sensors
ISEC 2025 in Erfurt: Call for Papers open until 16th February
The International Superconductive Electronics Conference (ISEC) invites abstracts for its 19th edition, which will take place from 15th-19th June 2025 in Erfurt, Germany. Papers can be submitted until 16th February 2025
Projektstart SAIn: Selbstregulierende kryogene Indium-Verbindung
The 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
The 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
Project start PuSch – Photostructurable black lacquer against scattered light
The aim of the recently launched PuSch research project is to use structurable, optically non-transparent coatings to cover reflective areas on the chip surface of photodiodes and arrays. This suppresses stray light when used in the measuring device and increases the useful portion of the detector signal. When developing the technology, particular attention must be paid to compatibility with downstream processes and operating conditions
Scientists at the CiS Research Institute honored for outstanding developments
Two important innovations from the CiS Research Institute were ceremoniously honored yesterday at the Ilmenau University of Technology. In the presence of representatives from business, science and politics, the scientists received the coveted iENA Inventor Medals for two pioneering developments that they presented at the 2024 International Trade Fair “Ideas – Inventions – Innovations” in Nuremberg
Successes and challenges – ERDF delegation visits the CiS Research Institute
In a joint discussion with Thomas Brock, Managing Director of the CiS Research Institute, Petra Corti, Program Manager from the EU Commission’s Directorate-General for Regional Policy and Urban Development, and representatives of the EFRE administrative authority in the TMWWDG discussed the successes and challenges of business-related research institutions in Thuringia
Congratulations to our colleague Dr. Mario Bähr on his successful doctorate
On 14th November 2024, our colleague Mario Bähr successfully defended his dissertation on “Scalable components for magnetometry based on NV centers in diamond” at the University of Leipzig in front of an audience of professors, colleagues, companions and family
Long Night of Science 2024 at the CiS Research Institute
The 9th Long Night of Science at the CiS Research Institute on 8th November 2024 was another visitor magnet. Young and old started their journey of discovery punctually at 6 pm to see, marvel and join in
