Integrated resonant accelerometer microsystems for automotive applications

Objective

- Development of a 50g accelerometer sensor based on a bulk micromachined silicon resonator.

- Development of a 500g accelerometer sensor based on a bulk micromachined silicon resonator.

- Development of accompanying ASICs for integration with 50g accelerometer in a hybrid integrated microsystem for frontal impact airbag applications.

- Development of accompanying ASICs for integration with 500g accelerometer in a hybrid integrated microsystem for side impact airbag applications.

- Test and demonstration of the microsystems in the airbag application by Autoliv.

- Development and installation of the mass fabrication of silicon microsystems, glass-silicon-glass bonding, assembly and test.

A family of accelerometer microsystems will be developed for automotive applications based upon the following two types accelerometers.

- Crash sensors for frontal impacts and airbag applications range around 50g
- Crash sensors for side impacts and airbag applications range around 500g.

The project will focus on the development of key process technologies including assembly and testing, product designs and manufacture and test of functional prototypes in coordination with the establishment of high volume production capabilities.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Call for proposal

Procedure for inviting applicants to submit project proposals, with the aim of receiving EU funding.
