With his photo “Aufgewundenes Licht” (Wound Light), our colleague Bernd Sprenger won third place in this year’s “NanObjectives 5.0” photo competition. His photo, taken with a scanning electron microscope at 100x magnification, shows a coiled filament in a standard household light bulb. We warmly congratulate our colleague Bernd Sprenger on his success
During a visit by students from KOMET (Conference of Medical Technology Student Councils from German-speaking Countries) on May 26, 2025, they were able to gain a small insight into our fascinating world of microsensor technology. MEMS Business Unit Manager Dr. Klaus Ettrich presented a selected range of sensor developments for medical applications. Dr. Bernd Hähnlein generated enthusiasm and practical relevance at the scanning electron microscope of the CiS Analytics Competence Center with the finest structures that are invisible to the naked eye
The aim of the market-oriented FiberFLU project is to develop micro-optical and microelectronic components for measuring fluorescence signals, which are to be manufactured in a compact and miniaturized form using semiconductor technologies. One application could be continuous blood glucose measurement based on fluorescent dyes
In the newly launched M2NL project, a development team at the CiS Research Institute is analyzing measurement data from various piezoresistive pressure sensors and wants to use the analysis results to calculate mechanical parameters and their temperature dependency. The aim is to investigate non-linear effects and their influence in the simulation using the FEM tool ANSYS Multiphysics
Also this year, three workshops on silicon-based sensor technology and related, current research results and latest trends within the individual focus topics will take place. The first of these three workshops was held on 6th June 2023 under the motto “Modern analytics for innovative and sustainable sensor technology & materials science” and highlighted current results from research and development in modern analytics for the semiconductor industry
The speakers Dr. Martin Schädel as well as Dr. Andreas Winzer presented an online webinar on the topic of “3D structured photodiodes” on 14.07. 2021. In the webinar, which lasted just under one hour, they used illustrative examples to report on the variety of new optical sensor solutions using technologies for 3D processing of silicon
Today, the winners of the AMA Innovation Award 2021 will be awarded during the conference “Sensor and Measurement Science International”. Research teams of the CiS Research Institute and Fritsch GmbH have also applied with a joint development project “Particle Measurement by Laser Diffraction
At the Compamed in Düsseldorf, which starts today, the Thuringian research institution, founded in 1993, will present current research results. The development of silicon-based microsensor elements for applications in industry, medicine and the environment has been a core competence of the CiS Research Institute for many years
Scientists at the CiS Research Institute are developing compact industrial quantum sensors with a tiny diamond at their core. These synthetic diamonds with a manipulated atom in the crystal lattice allow the high-precision measurement of magnetic fields
