OBJECTIVES
GlassGas-II objective is to develop new materials and technologies for the fabrication of low power semiconductor gas sensors addressing the application competencies of portability, high performance, reliability, endurance, and high yield. The planned methodologies are based on the development of novel thin an thick sensitive materials, thermally isolated structures, and array subsystems and measuring methodologies that can be combined with standard CMOS technology. The devices proposed are based on the combination of glass structures bonded to silicon micro machined substrates to create robust micro-hotplates as the basis of gas sensor devices. Compatible thick and thin sensitive films will be developed that combined with electronics integration will give high added value to the proposal for future smart applications.
DESCRIPTION OF WORK
A work plan for GlassGas-II has been defined that combines technological activities coming from a former assessment phase already finished with new research and development in gas sensing. With the aim of improving not only thermo-mechanical structures for gas sensor micro systems, complementary work packages have been defined dealing with novel ideas and techniques on potentially interesting areas for gas sensors: the development of new sensitive thick and thin materials, advanced parallel and serial array analysis subsystems, new gas measurement methods and electronics integration. In addition relevant applications for fire detection and air ambient control, defined by industrial partners, from their knowledge of the future requirements of the market, will drive the different developments at each stage of the project in order to give full coherence to the work packages. Most of the performances of the structures and technologies developed are of horizontal nature and can be also applied to other fields of applications. It is considered that mechanical robustness, thermal isolation, pre-packaging and testing at wafer level, glass/Si micro structuring, or CMOS integration, are improvements that can also benefit other fields of application of micro systems. Thus, the consortium will study some applications where the developed technologies can be potentially applied with success.
The proposed methodologies of GlassGas II have some inherent risk and require long term research for assessment. However, to ensure good risk management during the project, the partners of the consortium will use, when necessary, more traditional techniques that can facilitate the parallel development and test of different parts of the project before being part of a full demonstrator.
