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
Piezo-junction sensors simultaneously measure process parameters such as pressure, temperature, and vibration – making them ideal for applications in process measurement technology, power plants, oil and gas, and aerospace. The recently completed PJS research project investigated various influencing factors and relationships to determine the optimal pn junction
On 20th June 2026, the CiS Research Institute invited visitors to explore, participate, and marvel at interactive experiments and demonstrations as part of Ilmenau’s Science Night. Visitors of all ages were able to immerse themselves in the fascinating world of research and technology. We presented a diverse range of our silicon-based microsensors for visitors to learn about and try out
The successfully completed ZIM collaboration project ApproxiSens resulted in the development of a novel measurement system for hardness testers that raises industrial hardness measurement to a new level of quality. The newly developed measurement system for industrial hardness testing increases throughput in batch measurements by using precise control to achieve high speeds as the indenter approaches the test surface
From 9th-11th June 2026, the CiS Research Institute will once again be exhibiting at the international gathering for sensor, measurement, and testing technology in Nuremberg. At SENSOR+TEST 2026, interested visitors can meet our experts again this year at Booth 501 in Hall 1 to discuss the latest research findings in silicon-based microsensor technology.
At the 23rd ITG/GMA Symposium “Sensors and Measurement Systems 2026,” the accompanying scientific conference at the Nuremberg Convention Center West (NCC West), the CiS Research Institute will be represented with four scientific presentations
The sensing cell is designed to determine the residual ammonia content in a dry N₂/H₂ gas mixture—a blend of nitrogen (N₂) and hydrogen (H₂) containing 75% hydrogen by volume—and is intended to enable real-time monitoring. The developed solution is based on innovative thermal emitters and operates without a chopper. Custom sensor elements can be quickly integrated
Over the next five days, our experts will be showcasing new project results and applications of silicon-based MEMS and MOEMS sensor concepts in Hall 13 at the LEG’s Thuringian joint booth (Booth E24) in Hanover
Silicon strain gauges (Si-SG) offer numerous outstanding properties. To reduce or compensate for the effects of temperature, temperature-sensing resistors, temperature diodes, and bipolar transistors were also integrated onto the same chip. The on-chip pnp transistors made it possible to implement temperature-compensated sensor configurations
ENFORCE TAC, Germany’s leading trade fair for security and defense, will kick off in Nuremberg on 23rd February 2026. The CiS Research Institute will be represented for the first time with a stand in Hall 6, Stand 6-215, the joint stand of LEG Thüringen, showcasing relevant development results such as a mobile vital sensor system, customer-specific photodiode modules for laser warning systems, a retrofit kit for non-invasive pressure measurement, and sensors for belt tension monitoring
From 17th-19th February 2026, the 21st “Trento” Workshop on Advanced Silicon Radiation Detectors will take place in Perugia, Italy. The CiS Research Institute will be represented there with a contribution on improving low gain avalanche detectors (LGAD) in terms of sensitivity to low-energy electrons
