Microsystem technologies for medical applications on 10.05.2017 in Erfurt
Our workshop is aimed at companies from the sensor and medical technology sectors that are facing new challenges in the healthcare market.
Microsystem technologies and the integration of microelectronic components are among the drivers for innovative solutions in prevention, diagnosis and therapy
New opportunities for the optics and semiconductor industry
A Dutch business delegation consisting of scientists and entrepreneurs from the optical and semiconductor industry visited the CiS Research Institute on 9 February 2017. As a supporting programme for the royal visit from the Netherlands, numerous companies took the opportunity to establish new contacts
Diamond is more than a gemstone
On 23 and 24 November, about 70 stakeholders from science and research, industry and politics discussed technological developments and market potentials of synthetic diamonds for diverse applications in Erfurt
Blood pressure measurement without cuff
At the CiS Research Institute, photoplethysmographic sensors have been developed that enable detailed shape analysis of pulse waves measured in the ear with a high signal-to-noise ratio
Silicon strain gauge
For precision force measurements, the CiS Research Institute has developed miniaturised silicon strain gauges (Si-DMS) with an integrated measuring bridge. The piezoresistive resistors are monolithically integrated in single-crystal silicon (K-factor = 80) and are available as a double strain element and as a full bridge
Artificial diamonds – new perspectives for Thuringia’s industry
Today more than ever, the market demands reliable, highly stable and durable materials at acceptable costs. The manufacturing process of artificial diamonds is environmentally friendly and the raw materials are almost unlimited. The technology is ready and now it is up to politics. The CiS Research Institute in Erfurt has taken the initiative and founded the “Smart Diamonds” cooperation platform together with the BMBF
CiS under new management
With the retirement of the long-standing managing director, Dr Hans-Joachim Freitag, in the spring of this year, Prof. Dr Thomas Ortlepp took over the management of the CiS Forschungsinstitut für Mikrosensorik GmbH. The supervisory board of CiS has now appointed Mr Thomas Brock as a further managing director with effect from 1 August 2016 and has given him responsibility for marketing and finance/controlling
Synthetic diamond in sensor technology – Innovation forum “Smart Diamonds” starts
As part of the BMBF’s “Enterprise Region” initiative, CiS is joining forces with all partners from research, application, production and mechanical engineering to implement these innovative possibilities in a way that is application-specific, suitable for industry and cost-effective.
We invite you to help shape this creative process and together build a sustainable and cross-industry network for competitive value chains
