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
