2015 Jahresbericht | Fachartikel HoTSens (en/de)
HoTSens Development, Test and Characterisation of ASICs up to 300°C Setting up the testing station with integrated cooling for complete semi- Objectives automated wafer testing up to 300 °C. Photograph: IMMS. For today's increasingly complex machinery and equipment to be operated safely with the highest possible efficiency in their use of resources and energy, it is essential that the state of each device and process be monitored at many points simultaneously with high speed and complete accuracy. The nearer to the process is any sensor…

2015 Jahresbericht | Fachartikel ANCONA (en/de)
ANCONA Computer-aided verification methods – fresh impetus for Industry 4.0 developments IMMS is at work on ways of automatically extending models of mixed Objectives analogue-and-digital circuits at system level so as to identify critical scenarios. FPGAs such as the Virtex7 demo board shown here are 16 At the basis of all the smart systems which can function as part of the Internet of Things and of all the high performance applications needed in Industry 4.0 lies the technology contained in complex, highly integrated micro-electronic…
2014 Jahresbericht | Fachartikel sMobiliTy (en/de)
sMobiliTy An energy-optimised wireless sensor solution for traffic applications Making prototype weatherproof, reliable sensors with wireless signalling that can be installed in the ”tactile road“ and will contribute to mobility Objectives 24 with electric vehicles. Photograph: IMMS. Electric vehicles (EVs) have a shorter range and longer ”electrical filling up“ times than do conventional vehicles. For optimum navigation as regards trip time and distance travelled, it is important to have upto-date local information: details of traffic…
2014 Jahresbericht | Fachartikel Intelligente Strommesszange (en/de)
Smart current clamp registers parasitic currents in industry Energetic measurements for the smart current clamp. Photograph: IMMS. Objectives Expensive downtime in complex industrial plant is often attributable to malfunctioning of the closed- and open-loop control technology. These malfunctions are, in turn, often caused by unwanted interaction between the electricity supply and the control system. The effect is that communication between components is impaired. If the interference level is outside the error tolerance…
2014 Jahresbericht | Fachartikel MEMS2015 MEMS-Design (en/de)
MEMS design at the press of a button The methodology of synthesising MEMS exemplified in an accelerometer Objectives 36 There is a need for new procedures and tools in the field of MEMS design to enable smart, up-to-date, high-performance sensor-and-actuator systems to be developed. To this end, during its involvement in the MEMS2015 research project funded by the BMBF (the German Ministry of Education and Research), IMMS has developed a new type of methodology. The tried and trusted modular principle from microelectronic…
2014 Jahresbericht | Fachartikel MEMS2015 MEMS-Cantilever-ASIC (en/de)
Readout circuit for a smart force sensor MEMS The ASIC developed by IMMS is part of a compact sensor head capable of measuring surface quality at a resolution of less than 100 nanometres in Objectives the industrial setting. Photograph: IMMS. Because microsystems technology is advancing so fast, particularly in the trend towards ever larger wafer diameters, and ever smaller components, the challenges confronting process monitoring and qual ity tests for microsystems are ever greater. In the at tempt to minimise…
