Highly sensitive sensor for measurement of layer stress in biological layers and sensitive layers for hydrogen detection

17. May 2023/in Force, Hydrogen, MEMS

Under the abbreviated name Nanolever, a project recently started at the CiS Research Institute with the aim of producing a sensor for determining layer stress. A number of measurement methods use the layer stress as a physical principle. Here, the deformation of a bending beam due to the stress differences of a bimorph is technically exploited
