Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 286471992
We research integrated delta-E-effect sensors as well as 2D and 3D configurations with low noise, and low LOD. The MEMS devices and CMOS readout electronics are manufactured via Europractice and post-processed at Kiel University. Small sensor size increases the local resolution, and mature fabrication technology ensures very high reproducibility. Central hypotheses are: Antiparallel exchange biased multilayers and thicker magnetic layers will improve the LOD of individual sensor elements; Model guided design will yield performance suitable for biomedical application; We can fabricate flux concentrators/guides and magnetic anisotropy orientations with high reproducibility; Wireless signal read-out becomes feasible by edge pre-processing.
