The first Thuringian Aerospace Day took place on 1st October 2026, at the ad hoc Arena in the Ernst-Abbe-Sportfeld in Jena. The joint event, organized by the Thuringian Ministry of Economic Affairs, LEG Thüringen, and the Saxony/Thuringia Competence Center for Aerospace Technology (LRT), brought together numerous stakeholders from business, academia, and politics. The CiS Research Institute was also present as an exhibitor
During the campaign period from 24th August to 13th September 2026, the institute’s team covered an impressive 3,006 kilometers on two wheels. As a result, the 19 City Cycling participants helped reduce CO₂ emissions by more than 490 kilograms. A heartfelt thank you to all the City Cycling participants, and great respect for this achievement on two wheels. For every 1,000 kilometers cycled, the Erfurt Office of Environmental Protection and Nature Conservation will donate a tree
From 20th-22nd September 2026, approximately 70 international researchers discussed cryogenic components. The “KRYO 2026” expert forum brings together national expertise in quantum technology. The CiS Research Institute was represented with two presentations
The international ESREF conference in Vienna focuses on the reliability and failure analysis of components in microelectronics, nanoelectronics, and optoelectronics. On September 24, 2026, Julia Baldauf, a researcher at the CiS Research Institute, will present the results of the DotIR research project. Appropriate doping in MoSi2 is intended to reduce electromigration effects and increase the service life
From 16th to 18th September 2026, international experts gathered at Sensor China in Shanghai to foster dialogue and cooperation between European and Chinese players in the sensor and IoT industries. The CiS Research Institute was represented at this annual event with a conference presentation and an exhibition booth
With electronica India in Bengaluru, South Asia’s leading trade fair for electronic components, systems, applications, and solutions opens its doors. The CiS Research Institute will make its trade show debut in India from September 16 to 18, 2026, in Hall 5 of the Bangalore International Exhibition Centre (BIEC) at the International Pavilion of Messe München
The Institute of Physics at the Technical University of Ilmenau is currently hosting its 24th Ilmenau Physics Summer for high school students with a passion for physics. Kai Kühnlenz from the CiS Research Institute for Microsensor Technology gave an accompanying lecture on the topic of superconducting electronics
With team spirit, good humor, and a competitive drive, four relay teams from the CiS Research Institute took on the challenge under the motto “Microsensors, Macro Performance.” At the 38th Erfurt Triathlon, the triathlon community gathered at the beautiful Stotternheim Beach in pleasant late-summer weather for its annual showdown
In the recently completed miniOffset research project, a new scalable technology platform was used to minimize sensor performance – particularly zero offset and its temperature dependence – at the wafer and chip levels. Cost-effective CMOS/MEMS-compatible materials and processes can be used for this purpose
In the InOxA research project, the TOPCon contact developed for silicon photovoltaics was adapted for use in sensor diodes. To achieve this, a thin barrier oxide and highly doped polysilicon were deposited onto the base material, so that the contact also serves to passivate both the active area and the substrate contact
