Happy Easter – Creative competition for the children of our employees
The management of the CiS Research Institute invited to a creative participation action for the children of our employees. In our online gallery you can admire the numerous creative submissions of the young artists. Happy Easter days and stay healthy
First Status Workshop of the BMBF Growth Core HIPS
The 1st status workshop of the BMBF growth core HIPS will take place on April 7, 2021 as a free online event. Organized by the host TU Ilmenau, guests and interested parties are welcome from 9:00 to 16:30. The CiS Research Institute is involved in two projects to develop an innovative multi-sensor platform for capturing sensor information in challenging environments
Further development of the founding project “Ultra-wideband microwave sensor technology”
The CiS Research Institute uses its competences in packaging and interconnection technology for the further development of the founding project of Ilmsens GmbH. Processes such as chip-to-chip contacts with extremely short and flat loops as well as long-term stable, hermetic packaging drive the miniaturization of the “system-in-package” sensor
H2MEMS – Novel hydrogen sensor with highest sensitivity and selectivity based on silicon-based MEMS sensor structures
As a specialist in the development of silicon-based pressure sensors, the CiS Research Institute is developing and testing palladium-coated MEMS structures with its partners in the H2MEMS project. The volume expansion of palladium during hydrogen deposition is being tested as a measuring principle
SPIE Photonics West 2021 as an online event
SPIE Photonics West 2021 will take place from March 6 to 11 as an online-only event. As part of OPTO 2021, the CiS Research Institute will give two presentations on current research results on the emission behavior of UV LEDs and on down converters for driving UV LEDs. The lectures are available for registered participants during the whole period of the event
NanoSense – Development of a hardness measuring head based on a novel combined force-displacement sensor
For the determination of surface hardness in the nanometer range, a new measuring head combining a force and displacement sensor is being developed in the recently launched “NanoSense” project. It is to be connected modularly to common universal testing machines and XY-axis manipulators
Webinar with Live Demo: Silicon-based Piezoresistive Force Sensors
MEMS-based piezoresistive force sensors can be used to monitor preload forces or contact forces. Our webinar will go into the technical basics of such sensors and we will show you some demonstrators of silicon strain gauges (Si strain gauges) developed by us
NIVo – Novel isothermal sensor through front cavities
The market for thermopile sensors is growing and will continue to gain from the current COVID pandemic. In the current project NIVo two established principles are combined to a novel isothermal sensor by front cavities and thus the innovation capability in this field is further developed
AmmoniaSense – Development of an in-line measuring system using an innovative ammonia sensor
The aim of the newly launched ZIM cooperation project AmmoniaSense is to record the ammonia concentration with a stationary inline measuring system in order to optimally control biogas plants. The CiS Research Institute is developing the ammonia sensor system, which will be used in combination with a hydrogen sulphide sensor
Save the date – 9th Beam Telescopes and Test Beams Workshop
An overview lecture on silicon processing techniques will be given by Prof. Thomas Ortlepp at the “Beam Telescopes and Test Beams Workshop” on 8 February at 13:00. The online lecture will explain which types of silicon processing techniques exist and how they can be applied to the production of silicon radiation detectors
