U.S.-Turkey Cooperative Research: Solid-State Sensors and Interface Circuits

产品描述：该奖项支持位于安阿伯的密歇根大学（UM）电气工程和计算机科学系的Khalil Najalan博士与位于土耳其安卡拉的中东技术大学（METU）电气和电子工程系的Tayfun Akin博士之间的合作。 本研究项目分为两个部分：1.电容式压力传感器低功耗高精度接口电路的设计与制作; 2.开发和测试具有遥测可访问输出信号的无线电容式压力传感器。 传感器和必要电子设备的部分设计和分析将在METU完成，而制造将主要在UM完成。 这些器械的测试和表征将在两家机构完成。 这些微机械传感器和致动器以及其他微机电系统（MEMS）在生物力学和可植入装置、工业处理、汽车系统、航空电子设备和环境监测中具有许多应用。 适用范围： 这个奖项允许一个非常活跃和公认的团体在美国之间的合作，在UM，和一个小的，但有前途的，在土耳其的METU组。 由于土耳其科学家最近的工作及其在设计模拟电路和必要的接口电路方面的专业知识，这项合作将有利于美国团队。 土耳其科学家和他的学生将受益于他们在UM获得现代制造设施。 METU能力的增强将有助于满足快速增长的MEMS领域的研究需求。 该奖项由国际计划司和电气和通信系统司共同资助。

Description: This award supports collaboration between Dr. Khalil Najafi, Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Michigan (UM), Ann Arbor, with Dr. Tayfun Akin, Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering at the Middle East Technical University (METU), in Ankara, Turkey. The research project has two parts: 1. the design and fabrication of a low-power high-precision interface circuit for capacitive pressure sensors, and 2. the development and testing of a wireless capacitive pressure sensor with a telemetrically accessible output signal. Part of the design and analysis of the sensors and the necessary electronics will be done at METU, while the fabrication will be done primarily at the UM. The testing and characterization of these devices will be done at both institutions. These micromachined sensors and actuators and other microelectromehanical systems (MEMS) have many applications in biomechanics and in implantable devices, in industrial processing, automotive systems, avionics, and in environmental monitoring. Scope: This award allows collaboration between a very active and well recognized group in the United States, at the UM, and a small, but promising, group in Turkey at METU. The collaboration will be beneficial to the U.S. team because of the recent work by the Turkish scientist and his expertise in designing analog circuits and the necessary interface circuits. The Turkish scientist and his student will benefit from their access to modern fabrication facilities at the UM. The resulting enhancement of capabilities at METU will be useful in meeting research needs in the rapidly growing MEMS field. This award is funded jointly by the Division of International Programs and the Division of Electrical and communications Systems.
