Ammonia gas sensor for AdBlu® control system
Ammonia gas sensor for AdBlu® control – Spectroscopically operating sensor concepts sensitively and reliably select ammonia concentration in the exhaust tract of a diesel engine. In the NHxSens project, a miniaturised non-dispersive ultra-violet (NDUV) spectrometer is being developed for exhaust gas analysis
Innovative process and safety sensor technology for “green hydrogen”
The German government’s National Hydrogen Strategy is a building block for a successful climate change and secure energy supply. As a development partner for application-specific silicon sensors, the CiS Research Institute is dedicated to the topic of “green hydrogen” in research projects. Cooperation on current research topics, including hydrogen, is bundled at the regional level by the FTVT
Long-term stable passivation of piezoresistive sensors for demanding sensor environments
Direct contact with the medium is difficult to implement for silicon-based microsensors. In order to fully exploit miniaturisation, corrosion protection is applied at chip level. This makes an application in more demanding environments possible even without additional protective constructions
Silicon detector for electrons with energies of 1 keV
Increasing the quantum efficiency of silicon diodes in scanning electron microscopes – The SiekeV research project is working on improving scanning electron microscopes for analysing near-surface structures. The detection of low-energy electrons makes it possible to take very surface-sensitive SEM images
Burgermann brings Christmas menu
Since a classic joint end-of-year event with all colleagues is not possible this year, the management of the CiS Research Institute engaged the Burgermann Foodtruck. With a sophisticated corona-compliant ordering procedure, all employees were able to choose from different burger menus and enjoy their pre-Christmas thank-you for their commitment in this not easy year yesterday lunchtime
Efficient coupling optics for single photon detectors (EkoPHo)
A new technology platform is used for targeted optical adaptation of an SNSPD silicon chip stack. This is an extremely compact construction of a superconducting detector with efficient signal coupling in a chip compound as well as integrated optics and mounting of a fibre
SiCer technology for high performance sensor systems
At InnoCON Thuringia on 24th November 2020, Dr. Olaf Brodersen will explain the latest results of the growth core HIPs and the SiCer technologies to be developed therein for high performance sensor systems. The InnoCON starts as online event at 3:00 PM
Valuable seconds – continuously monitoring blood pressure with optical sensors
The CiS Research Institute has been working for more than 10 years on the development of photoplethysmographic sensors for the continuous measurement of vital parameters such as heart rate, heart rate variability and blood oxygen saturation. The most recent result is a miniaturised sensor that also monitors blood pressure in the ear
10th Advisory Board Meeting of the AUVL Consortium
The 10th advisory board meeting of the Advanced UV for Life (AUVL) consortium is taking place today as an online event. The CiS Research Institute is the coordinator of the working field “Modules & Measurement Technology”. Prof. Thomas Ortlepp will give a lecture from 11:45 AM to 12:20 PM about the value creation and supply chains within the field of work
Patent application for multilayer structures for chemically resistant, long-term stable differential pressure sensors
Harsh environmental conditions require robust and stable pressure sensors. The new and further development of wafer-level packaging technologies increases performance, extends areas of application and reduces manufacturing costs. The result is patent pending
