Reduction of thermal influences on the measurement signal with hybrid sensors
/in MEMSThe aim of the new Flunder research project is to investigate how suitable measures can be taken to minimize the temperature dependence of the measurement signal in hybrid monocrystalline silicon strain gauge sensors (SiDMS)
Ultra-small pressure sensors based on MSTS diaphragms
/in MEMS, PressureThe UDM research project is aimed at the development and prototype production of piezoresistive absolute pressure sensors with ultra-small dimensions yet very high sensitivities based on single-crystal MSTS membranes
The city cycling competition starts today
/in CiS generalThe city cycling competition starts today. The aim is to cover as many everyday kilometers as possible by bike during the 21-day campaign period. The motivated team of the CiS Research Institute is currently taking part in the competition with 16 members until 1st September 2024
Project start BerNieDru – Development of burst-proof low pressure sensors
/in MEMS, Pressure, Simulation & DesignIn the BerNieDru research project that has been launched, a piezoresistive pressure sensor is to be developed for the pressure range up to 2 mbar, which can withstand a burst pressure of at least 1 bar by adapting the membrane geometry
Programs of the CiS Workshops 2024 are online
/in EventsThe programs for both CiS workshops are available online. Registration for the individual workshops is possible at any time. The full-day CiS workshops will focus on non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) sensors and new methods in the development and application of silicon sensors. Both events offer an exciting environment for presenting new research results, discussing applications and talking to experts from research and industry
Project start CNT-IR – Infrared emitter with emission-enhancing layer of carbon nanotubes
/in IR, MOEMSIn the newly launched CNT-IR project, carbon nanotubes and encapsulations are to be used to increase the emission of the IR emitter while maintaining the same electrical output. Such light sources are used in particular for optical gas sensors (NDIR sensors)
Oil-free differential pressure sensors for applications in the food industry
/in MEMSThe aim of the new “DMS in ceramics” project is to develop a process for a differential pressure sensor with a media-resistant ceramic bending plate and integrated Si-DMS. By fully integrating the Si strain gauge during the lamination of the Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramics (LTCC), it is hermetically sealed and protected against mechanical manipulation
