New Facility Enables Microsystem Technology

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
DUISBURG, Germany, July 1, 2011 — A new method of producing miniaturized thermal imaging sensors promises to permit large-scale manufacturing of automotive safety devices. The technique, developed at the Fraunhofer Institute for Microelectronic Circuits and Systems (Fraunhofer IMS), takes advantage of precise etching. Infrared cameras see more than the naked eye and could make traffic safer. Indeed, thermal imaging cameras are already used in certain applications — in the construction industry and the military, for example. Such infrared cameras, however, are barely available in mobile applications; for example,...Read full article
