High Performance Center »Functional Integration in Micro- and Nanoelectronics«
Cognitive capabilities form the foundation for autonomous technical systems – from simple household service robots and self-optimizing production facilities to automated driving.
Advances in microelectronics and microelectromechanical systems are enabling the development of economically viable, highly integrated, and energy-efficient sensor systems.
Especially in safety-critical and industrial applications, the requirements for the reliability and trustworthiness of sensor data are particularly high. Different sensing modalities are therefore combined at both the system and data levels. Data fusion makes it possible to specifically compensate for the inherent limitations of individual sensors. A typical example is the combination of radar sensing, which provides reliable depth information, with imaging sensors, which enable precise object classification.
In addition, modern multisensor systems can monitor their own functionality and detect and compensate for sources of interference, such as temperature variations or vibrations.
At the High Performance Center Micro/Nano, we develop intelligent multisensor systems along the entire value chain: from the conceptual design of microelectromechanical systems and innovative packaging and interconnection technologies for flexible, space-efficient integration to sensor-near signal processing, data analysis, prototype manufacturing, and testing in laboratory environments and real-world applications. Through close collaboration among the partners within the High Performance Center, complementary expertise is brought together to develop particularly demanding sensor solutions.
