Silicon Science Award 2023
CiS e.V. together with the CiS Research Institute for Microsensors awards the Silicon Science Award. Young researchers should be encouraged to deal with topics and research tasks related to silicon-based sensors, actuators, optoelectronic microsystems and quantum technologies and to present their work to a broad public
Shadow-free UV illumination for UVC LED-based disinfection of medical devices
The project “Shade-free UV illumination” involved the development of a technical solution for UVC-LED-based disinfection of medical devices, specifically endoscopes. By means of innovative assembly and connection techniques, an appropriate heat management was achieved
Diamond as a sensory element and its properties and applications
Over a period of three and a half years, the project team in the BMBF joint project “DiaQuantFab – Diamond Materials for Industrial Applications” investigated and developed optical microsensor systems based on NV centers in diamond. A holistic approach was taken along the value chain from diamond production and manipulation to the finished sensor system. The selected sensor systems were magnetic field sensors for the application areas of position measurement technology, scanning probe microscopy as well as current measurement.
Implantable silicon dosimeters for radiation therapy
Based on pulse-sensitive electronics, biocompatible implantable silicon dosimeters for radiation therapy could be developed in the R&D project SiDo at the CiS Research Institute. In vivo dosimeters based on this technology can measure the radiation exposure in the immediate vicinity of a carcinoma during radiation therapy
Presentation of funding notification by Minister Tiefensee
Thuringia’s Minister of Economic Affairs, Mr. Tiefensee, presented a funding decision to the two managing directors, Mr. Brock and Prof. Ortlepp, during his visit to the CiS Research Institute on November 29, 2022. The funds come from EU REACT funds. Industry-related research institutions from Thuringia were able to qualify in a competitive call. The focus was on technologies and processes for a more sustainable use of energy and resources
Project smartBond: Development of a high-precision, form-fit-supported flip-chip thermo-compression method
In the smartBond project, the assembly and force-fit and electrically conductive joining of photodiodes to hybrid detector modules was investigated and optimized by means of thermocompression bonding with chemically electrodeposited pillar structures and their highly accurate positioning by means of so-called self-alignment.
Hydrogen sensors for the energy supply of the future
At the GREAT H2 technical forum in the Arena Erfurt on Nov. 16, 2022, Dr. Thomas Frank, head of the MEMS department at the CiS Research Institute, will present an H2-Semicron® gas sensor system for measuring hydrogen concentrations in plants such as electrolysers and storage systems. The sensor system is a joint development with UST Umweltsensortechnik GmbH
Visit us at the electronica 2022 in Munich
Tomorrow electronica 2022 will start in Munich and the CiS Research Institute will be present with a booth (424) in hall B3 on the common area “Sensor Pavilion” from November 15-18. electronica is the leading international trade fair and conference for the electronics industry and presents the entire spectrum of technologies, products and solutions from the entire world of electronics
Visit us at COMPAMED 2022
Next week, the COMPAMED will take place in Düsseldorf from November 14 to 17, 2022. The CiS Research Institute will be represented with a booth (H23.4) in hall 8A at the IVAM joint booth. In addition, Dr. Martin Schädel, Business Unit Manager MOEMS, will report on “Silicon-based Microsensors for Medical & Health Care Applications” in his presentation at the COMPAMED HIGH-TECH FORUM
MOEMS workshop successful in 3rd edition
Yesterday, a CiS workshop on “NDIR Sensors and Components” took place in Erfurt for the third time. In two sessions there were insights into current research projects on IR emitters and IR detectors, fresh ideas were born and new contacts were made
