New Generation of Microthermometers and Multifunctional Sensors for Use in Cryogenic Engineering and Low-Temperature Physics

Objective

The realisation of the Project will ensure development, investigation and production of a number of types of novel low-cost wide-range microthermometers and multifunctional (temperature, magnetic field and strain) sensors for cryogenic applications.
The Project includes comprehensive physical-technological investigations, design development, studies of operating characteristics and testing of microsensors, as well as their production. During the Project realisation a combination of structural, electrical and optical methods will be used, as well as the batch manufacturing methods of modern microelectronics.
The Project also includes the study of the ionising (neutrons, gamma-rays) radiation effect on the sensor operating characteristics, with the aim to determine the device radiation tolerance. Effect of magnetic fields on the sensors will also be investigated, and new physical principles and methods of measurements to reduce the effect of magnetic fields on the accuracy of temperature measurements will be developed.
The technological and design solutions proposed in the project will enable us to produce miniature and over wide-range temperature, magnetic field and strain sensors. The multifunctional sensors proposed in the project will be the pioneer devices in this field.
The Project will combine the efforts of researchers and equipment of the following institutions: CNR - Istituto di Metrologia "G.Colonnetti" (Torino, Italy); Institute of Cryogenics, University of Southampton (Southampton, UK); State Research Institute "Orion" (Kiev, Ukraine); Research & Production Company "MicroSensor Ltd." (Kiev, Ukraine); Institute of Materials Science Problems (Chernovtsy, Ukraine); National Science Centre, Kharkov Institute of Physics &Technology (Kharkov, Ukraine).
The major significance of this Project is to develop a new and promising topic "Cryogenic micro thermometers and multisensors based on semiconductor-film microelectronic and micromachining technologies", a novel topic for the European scientific community.
