Industry Consortium Tasked With Developing Silicon on Insulator Sensors for Harsh Environments

摘要

Microsemi has announced its participation in a multidisciplinary consortium tasked with developing innovative CMOS-compatible, high-temperature sensors that help reduce carbon emissions and drive energy consumption savings. The European Union's Seventh Framework Programme (FP7ICT) is funding the majority of the SOI-HITS (Silicon on Insulator High Temperature Systems) project, which is slated for completion by the end of August 2014.Microsemi will lead and manage the SOI-HITS project and be responsible for high-temperature packaging and system integration activities. For this project, SOI-HITS will develop sensors with a built-in electronic interface designed to work in harsh high-temperature environments.
