Micro strain sensors for monitoring the mechanical load of machines and machine elements
Dr. Thomas Frank, head of the MEMS department at the CiS Research Institute, explains miniaturized silicon strain sensors, 50 times more sensitive than a conventional metallic foil strain gauge and as small as the head of a pin, on April 4 at 15:00
EAS 2020 Workshop “Energy Autonomous Sensor Systems“
At the beginning of last week, Expert Committee 4.3 Sensor and Sensor Systems of the VDE/VDI Society for Microelectronics, Microsystems and Precision Engineering (GMM) met at our company to prepare the next conference “Energy Self-sufficient Sensor Systems” (EAS2020) to be held in spring 2020
Silicon-based microsensors and their applications – double pack at HMI 2019
At HMI 2019, CiS will be presenting sophisticated packaging for time-of-flight camera modules, double-sided microstrip detectors and other current development results in a double pack at the Thuringia joint LEG stand in Hall 4, Stand F34 and at the stand of Forschungs- und Technologieverbund Thüringen e.V. (FTVT) in Hall 2, Booth A27
Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. Thomas Ortlepp appointed to the Thuringian State Science Conference by the Thuringian Ministry of Economic Affairs
The Thuringian Minister of Economic Affairs Wolfgang Tiefensee appoints Prof. Thomas Ortlepp as a new member of the Thuringian State Science Conference for a period of 4 years. As an interface between science, politics, education as well as business and society, this platform promotes exchange and dialogue on current and strategic issues of Thuringia’s economic and science policy
Joint project VIPO starts
The “VIPO growth core”, a joint research project funded by the German government with seven million euros, is currently being launched. VIPO stands for virtual product and process optimization. The aim is to capture virtual production through simulation. The CiS Research Institute is one of the three participating science partners
IDE sensor with diamond passivation at Thüringer Werkstofftag 2019
Impedance sensors are used for the analysis of e.g. air humidity, liquid levels or chemical/biological data. The sensors are used for the analysis of air humidity, liquid levels or chemical/biological parameters and are composed of interdigital electrodes (IDE). CiS will present the first results on the long-term stability of IDE sensors with diamond passivation in various aggressive media on 07.03.19 at the TU Ilmenau
Temperature sensors for industry 4.0
The measurement and control of temperatures is one of the most common applications for sensors and is becoming increasingly important due to the requirements of industry 4.0 applications, e.g. in plant and process control. Recently, an important milestone was reached in a development project for high-temperature diodes
CiS at the SPIE Photonics West in San Francisco
The SPIE Photonics West in San Francisco, the world’s largest event for photonic technologies, will start on Saturday with three conferences and two trade fairs
Workshop FUTURE of Silicon Detector Technologies
With the FUTURE of Silicon Detector Technologies workshop, exciting research and development tasks in the field of high-energy physics and related device development were again discussed. The two-day workshop focused on topics such as detectors for high-energy and heavy-ion physics as well as requirements and solutions for a variety of application areas
Chinese delegation from Nanjing at CiS Research Institute
