Objective
- Substrate heater elements characterised by low power consumption, improved thermal and mechanical stability; membranes made of either amorphous or crystalline silicon carbide, or porous silicon, will be the core of the new advanced substrates.
- Miniaturised and silicon-integrated gas sensor integrated into a system of actuator components; the sensor arrays will consist of micromachined gas sensor elements which incorporate advanced metal-oxide-semiconductor films as gas sensitive materials.
- Gas handling system with integrated silicon microactuators and sensor components; the basic and most innovative devices of the gas handling system will be microvalves and micropumps realised by silicon micromachining (extended feasibility study).
- Advanced techniques for sensor control, signal conditioning and pattern recognition; in particular, they will include sophisticated approaches for sensor calibration and signal evaluation; the latter will be performed using artificial neural networks and logic techniques.
- Miniaturised gas monitoring station characterised by small dimension, reduced power consumption, low investment cost, easy exchange of subsystem components, self calibration and testing of sensor units, long service-free operational periods.
A miniaturised air quality monitoring station for use in urban environments, capable of detecting a range of important air pollutant species (e.g. CO, NOx, O3), produced by road traffic, will be developed using a novel system architecture. The heart of the SMOG demonstrator will be an array of miniaturised silicon-integrated metal-oxide gas sensors that will allow a drastic reduction in volume and power consumption of the monitoring station. Selective detection of the individual target gases will be enabled by state-of-the-art pattern recognition techniques. To reduce dead volumes, the development of a miniaturised actuator system will constitute an important goal of the project.
