We’re cycling too! Five years of City Cycling at the CiS Research Institute
From 18th August to 7th September 2025, people will once again be pedaling hard – for a bicycle-friendly Erfurt, less car traffic, and lots of new tree planting. As every year, the Erfurt Environmental and Nature Conservation Agency will donate one tree to the nearby Willroder Forest for every 1,000 kilometers cycled
Project completion: Inkjet printing of galvanically amplified infrared emitters
The completed IJP-IR research project investigated alternative processes based on inkjet technology and electroplating for the manufacture of IR emitters. The new process reduces lithography and high-vacuum steps to a minimum and expands the range of materials available for CMOS-compatible systems
New assembly technologies for IR components based on polymer-free joining technologies
The new ZIM project IR-Batch focuses on the development of new assembly technologies for infrared components based on polymer-free joining technologies for use at high temperatures and in extreme environmental conditions. The CiS Research Institute is responsible for technology development
Development of a high-pressure sensor up to 300 MPa with front-flush media connection
The ambitious goal of the research project was achieved with the successful development of a silicon-based high-pressure sensor with front-flush media contact for a measuring range up to 300 MPa. The front-flush media connection makes the sensor ideal for sensitive areas with strict hygiene regulations, such as in the food industry or pharmaceuticals
FIRE project completion: Fast infrared emitters as monolithically integrated arrays
The central idea of integrating several small and therefore fast active areas into a single chip was initially achieved through the hybrid integration of individual, very small (1×1 mm²) chips, which were ultimately converted into variants of monolithically integrated arrays
Project launch Thermistor-HFS – Development of a novel heat flux sensor
The new Thermistor-HFS research project aims to develop and manufacture a novel heat flow sensor based on a fundamentally different technological approach than solutions already available on the market
Project completion Optimization of Thermal Behavior (OTB)
In the OTB project, scientists at the CiS Research Institute pursued the goal of reducing or optimizing cross-sensitivity for highly stable and highly accurate piezoresistive resistance bridges consisting of resistance tracks implanted in single-crystal silicon with a high temperature coefficient
Wound Light wins award in photo competition
With his photo “Aufgewundenes Licht” (Wound Light), our colleague Bernd Sprenger won third place in this year’s “NanObjectives 5.0” photo competition. His photo, taken with a scanning electron microscope at 100x magnification, shows a coiled filament in a standard household light bulb. We warmly congratulate our colleague Bernd Sprenger on his success
International conference on superconducting electronics and quantum technologies takes place in Erfurt
The International Superconductive Electronics Conference (ISEC), the biennial scientific conference that brings together global experts in the field of superconductive electronics in a forum, kicked off in Erfurt on Monday. The international series of events is being held at the Radisson Blu Hotel Erfurt until Thursday and covers key topics for the future, such as quantum computers and energy-efficient electronics, and provides a forum for innovations in science and industry
Careers in high-tech – CiS Research Institute at the Thuringian Job Fair
