Barometric MEMS pressure sensor for bio- and medical technology
At Sensor+Test 2017, the CiS Research Institute for Microsensors presents highly stable, media-resistant barometric pressure sensors in MEMS technology
Mounting UV LEDs flexibly and efficiently – Fully automatic micro-assembly centre with diversity
A new micro-assembly centre expands the technological basis for the development of technological solutions for the fully automated assembly of application-specific UV LED modules in different series sizes and designs, whether as single LED sources or area lamps.
The modular system concept enables the most important AVT assembly steps to be carried out in one unit
Synthetic diamond coatings in microsystems technology
Synthetic diamond coatings can be manufactured on an industrial scale to be CMOS-compatible. The manufacturing and processing costs are comparable to those of other technologies, such as passivation or contacting. In order to implement diamond coatings as passive as well as active functional layers in sensors and to evaluate their industrial applicability, the CiS Research Institute is dedicated to pressure measurement in aggressive working environments and intelligent thermal management in current R&D projects
Miniaturised UV LED illumination with multiple wavelengths
The CiS Research Institute has expanded its opto-electronic competencies to develop multispectral UV light sources for fluorescence and absorbance measurements. Manufacturers of measuring instruments for bioanalytics and medical technology can thus build significantly smaller systems and open up new fields of application. In addition, users of this technology also benefit from low system costs
Fast and small spectral sensors for fibre Bragg gratings
The MEMS technologies available and further developed at the CiS Research Institute were the basis for the development of a new generation of spectral sensors consisting of two detector chips stacked on top of each other. Each covers a specific spectral range. The upper diode is only 50 µm thin
Microsensing the direction of light incidence
The CiS Research Institute has developed a tiny microchip to determine the direction of light incidence. The small design and simple integrability as well as the MEMS manufacturing technology suitable for mass production distinguish the component. The monolithic sensor is based on four integrated photodiodes in a 3D-structured silicon substrate
Better safe than sorry – measurement of pretensioning forces in bolted joints
At the CiS Research Institute, new types of silicon-based MEMS sensors are currently being developed to check safety-relevant bolt connections. Such special bolts are used, for example, in mechanical engineering, materials handling technology and wind turbines
Microsystem technologies for medical applications on 10.05.2017 in Erfurt
Our workshop is aimed at companies from the sensor and medical technology sectors that are facing new challenges in the healthcare market.
Microsystem technologies and the integration of microelectronic components are among the drivers for innovative solutions in prevention, diagnosis and therapy
New opportunities for the optics and semiconductor industry
A Dutch business delegation consisting of scientists and entrepreneurs from the optical and semiconductor industry visited the CiS Research Institute on 9 February 2017. As a supporting programme for the royal visit from the Netherlands, numerous companies took the opportunity to establish new contacts
Diamond is more than a gemstone
On 23 and 24 November, about 70 stakeholders from science and research, industry and politics discussed technological developments and market potentials of synthetic diamonds for diverse applications in Erfurt
