Project smartBond: Development of a high-precision, form-fit-supported flip-chip thermo-compression method
/in Packaging, Process developmentIn 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
/in Energy, Events, MEMS, PressureAt 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.

MOEMS workshop successful in 3rd edition
/in Events, MOEMSYesterday, 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
Project completed: DefEin – Si detectors with flat entrance window
/in Measurement, UVIn the successfully completed DefEin project, doping technologies were developed that enable high energy resolution of radiation sensors consisting of silicon by keeping the highly doped regions on the entrance side of the radiation to be detected as flat as possible
Project start: Complex tools for device simulation (KTB)
/in MEMS, Simulation & DesignThe new project focuses on the creation of interfaces to link different existing design and simulation tools, using the development of high-precision and long-term stable pressure sensors at the CiS Research Institute as an example
Silicon based piezoresistive sensors with a minimal bridge base detuning
/in Force, MEMS, PressureThe new R&D project miniOffset focuses on the development of a silicon-based piezoresistive technology platform with minimal bridge base detuning. The basis is formed by CMOS/MEMS-compatible materials combined with cost-effective manufacturing processes
Expert meeting on current development trends in piezoresistive silicon pressure sensors
