The presentation portraits the sensor developments and solutions of Infineon Technologies. Infineon offers a variety of devices for many different applications but here special focus is put on MEMS-based sensors, novel gas detectors based on Photoacoustic spectroscopy, as well as 3D imagers such as time-of-flight cameras and radar sensors. New trends broaden the usage of MEMS devices towards medical applications such as ultrasound- and photoacoustic imaging. Expensive medical machinery such as ultrasound imaging systems is substituted by small, portable, and cheap devices. This (r)evolution comes with challenges on understanding and modelling of MIMO systems as well as MEMS-, hardware-, and software design. Additionally, upcoming technologies in the field of RF-communication are shrinking the Terahertz gap leading to potential new (medical) applications. This talk gives insights in ongoing trends and developments including educational initiatives to prepare young engineers for what is coming next.
