Thermal Sensors
The group „Thermal Sensors“ develops application specific sensors und microsystems which use thermal effects to measure physical parameters.
Temperature is a special parameter in physics since most processes induce heat generation and consequently heat flux influencing the temperature distribution within a system. Since temperature is relatively easy to measure, many sensor concepts are based on thermal principles.
It is possible to measure parameters like flow velocity, dew-point temperature and humidity, inclination angle or material properties like thermal conductivity. Also energy balances of physical, chemical or biological processes can be monitored spatially and time-resolved. This means that thermal sensor principles offer a lot of possibilities and can be used for many different applications. By means of miniaturisation its efficiency, especially response time and sensitivity, can be significantly improved.
Our core research and development activities are:
HSG-IMIT offers engineering and research services from first concept and feasibility studies to the final product as well as series production of sensor chips.
