From 9th-11th June 2026, the CiS Research Institute will once again be exhibiting at the international gathering for sensor, measurement, and testing technology in Nuremberg. At SENSOR+TEST 2026, interested visitors can meet our experts again this year at Booth 501 in Hall 1 to discuss the latest research findings in silicon-based microsensor technology. At the 23rd ITG/GMA Symposium “Sensors and Measurement Systems 2026,” the accompanying scientific conference at the Nuremberg Convention Center West (NCC West), the CiS Research Institute will be represented with four scientific presentations [Read more]

To enable the early detection of hydrogen leaks at trace levels, the CiS Research Institute is developing a novel, highly sensitive sensor based on a Pd/Si Schottky diode with an integrated heating structure. To ensure the flawless manufacturing required for this component, the wafer inspection system - recently approved as part of the “TechWB” investment project - is being used for high-precision defect analysis in the submicrometer range [Read more]

The final results of the research conducted as part of the “CoGeQ” project were presented at Quantum Photonics 2026 in Erfurt in early May. The collaborative project aimed to demonstrate a mobile spin-based quantum processor based on NV centers in diamond. The CiS Research Institute was responsible for the field of assembly and interconnection technology and developed an efficient method for assembling the layered stacks consisting of a diamond chip and a silicon interposer [Read more]

Color centers such as the G- or T-center in silicon are currently used as the building blocks for silicon-based quantum technology. The aQuSiS research project aims to realize indium-based acceptor defects as readily accessible quantum systems for the first time. The increased understanding of the structure and functioning of this elementary quantum building block could serve as the foundation for its continued integration into modern quantum technologies [Read more]

The sensing cell is designed to determine the residual ammonia content in a dry N₂/H₂ gas mixture—a blend of nitrogen (N₂) and hydrogen (H₂) containing 75% hydrogen by volume—and is intended to enable real-time monitoring. The developed solution is based on innovative thermal emitters and operates without a chopper. Custom sensor elements can be quickly integrated [Read more]
