Integrated Intelligent Sensors (IIS)

Aims

The lecture is intended to provide students with an insight into the broad field of possible applications of intelligent sensor systems and their economic significance.

• Know the most important terms and processes for the development and manufacture of integrated intelligent sensors and are able to assess their advantages and disadvantages.
• Are able to describe the common sensor principles.
• Can select suitable methods for recording different physical variables using IIS.
• Know the basic processes for manufacturing microsystem sensors
• Have a broad understanding of the structure and functionality of microsystem sensors.
• Have the ability to communicate with experts in sensor technology.
• Are able to critically evaluate different processes.

Contents

In the lecture, applications of various microtechniques for sensor technologies, such as microoptics or micromechanics, are presented using current examples from industry and research. The main topics of the lecture are microsensors with integrated signal processing ("smart sensors") for applications in the automotive and manufacturing industries as well as in environmental protection and biomedical technology

Slides for the current lecture

The lecture slides will be made available on ILIAS the day after the lecture. There you can also find the complete set of slides of the IIS lecture from last summer semester.
