Sensor Modules
The core capability at Heraeus Sensor Technology is the manufacture of structured, thin platinum films. The product spectrum however extends well beyond the manufacture of classical Pt temperature sensors.
Sensor modules are multi-functionally constructed foundation modules based on platinum thin-film technology. They consist, for example, of sensor/heater combinations and application-specific structured electrodes. Sensitive layers can be applied to the electrodes by the customer. Through the application of metal oxides, for example, multi-sensor platforms become gas sensors with which concentrations of oxygen, carbon monoxide, nitrogen or methane can be detected down to the ppm range. Apart from the typical applications in gas and humidity measurement, analytical techniques in aqueous media, for example for medical technology or biotechnology, are conceivable.
Heraeus Sensor Technology produces multi-sensor platforms with customer-specifically designed Pt structures for sensors, heaters or electrodes in mono- or multi-layer versions. Within the scope of common product developments, the company is pleased to make its own expertise regarding coating, structuring and large-scale production available to its customers.
