For the determination of surface hardness in the nanometer range, a new measuring head combining a force and displacement sensor is being developed in the recently launched “NanoSense” project. It is to be connected modularly to common universal testing machines and XY-axis manipulators
MEMS-based piezoresistive force sensors can be used to monitor preload forces or contact forces. Our webinar will go into the technical basics of such sensors and we will show you some demonstrators of silicon strain gauges (Si strain gauges) developed by us
The market for thermopile sensors is growing and will continue to gain from the current COVID pandemic. In the current project NIVo two established principles are combined to a novel isothermal sensor by front cavities and thus the innovation capability in this field is further developed
The aim of the newly launched ZIM cooperation project AmmoniaSense is to record the ammonia concentration with a stationary inline measuring system in order to optimally control biogas plants. The CiS Research Institute is developing the ammonia sensor system, which will be used in combination with a hydrogen sulphide sensor
An overview lecture on silicon processing techniques will be given by Prof. Thomas Ortlepp at the “Beam Telescopes and Test Beams Workshop” on 8 February at 13:00. The online lecture will explain which types of silicon processing techniques exist and how they can be applied to the production of silicon radiation detectors
Ammonia gas sensor for AdBlu® control – Spectroscopically operating sensor concepts sensitively and reliably select ammonia concentration in the exhaust tract of a diesel engine. In the NHxSens project, a miniaturised non-dispersive ultra-violet (NDUV) spectrometer is being developed for exhaust gas analysis
The German government’s National Hydrogen Strategy is a building block for a successful climate change and secure energy supply. As a development partner for application-specific silicon sensors, the CiS Research Institute is dedicated to the topic of “green hydrogen” in research projects. Cooperation on current research topics, including hydrogen, is bundled at the regional level by the FTVT
Direct contact with the medium is difficult to implement for silicon-based microsensors. In order to fully exploit miniaturisation, corrosion protection is applied at chip level. This makes an application in more demanding environments possible even without additional protective constructions
Increasing the quantum efficiency of silicon diodes in scanning electron microscopes – The SiekeV research project is working on improving scanning electron microscopes for analysing near-surface structures. The detection of low-energy electrons makes it possible to take very surface-sensitive SEM images
Since a classic joint end-of-year event with all colleagues is not possible this year, the management of the CiS Research Institute engaged the Burgermann Foodtruck. With a sophisticated corona-compliant ordering procedure, all employees were able to choose from different burger menus and enjoy their pre-Christmas thank-you for their commitment in this not easy year yesterday lunchtime
