Micro system technology is a key technology of the 21st century. It makes both entirely new products possible, as well as increasing the performance of products already existing for application fields, such as mechanical engineering, electronics, environmental monitoring, automotive, construction, medicine and bio-technology. Comparable with the effect of microelectronics in the previous decades, microsystem technology possesses a high innovations potential for the personal lives of the people as well as for industrial processes.

Microsensors, as part of microsystem technology, is the field of operations of the Institute for Microsensors.

The CiS Research Institute for Microsensors and Photovoltaics GmbH in Erfurt is a non-profit research-establishment in the free State of Thuringia with close ties to the local industry. It sees itself as an R&D service associate, that carries out the development of micro-sensor solutions from the design stage up to the prototyping for industry.

The area of authority of the institute concentrates on

  • optical
  • capacitive
  • piezo-resistive

sensors and sensor systems

With its specialist areas

the institute has an extensive net value added chain from the development stage up to the production of microsensor components and systems.

More than 50 employees, mostly with college education, and extensive experience working together with industrial partners under the utilisation of the most modern equipment to realise exacting development and research tasks.

Products

CiS services include facilities for the development and production of sensor systems and components, as well as all the related technological processes.

CiS develops and manufactures the sensors and sensor systems for diverse areas of application areas of application resulting from these services.

The basis for this are optical, capacitive and piezo resistive working principles. Customer specific sensors and sensor systems are available in compliance with these working principles such as:

- Climate sensors
- Microoptical Sensors
- Pressure sensors
- Radiation detectors
- Photo diodes

Applications information

Climate sensors and systems

Micro – condensation sensors
The condensation sensors are monolithic integrated micro-sensors for the detection of humidity. The modules consist of a silicon integrated stray field capacitor including condensation detection area, a temperature sensor as well as a capacity frequency converter. The components are mounted on FR4- substrate. Micro condensation sensors
