Ein kleiner Rückblick und ein grosses Dankeschön!

Last week we performed a feasibility test, together with our project partner MPS Microsystems, at the TOMCAT beamline of PSI. Within this project a dedicated test bench was developed to operate a watch gear in the beamline. During the feasibility test the function of the test bench and its transmission to the synchrotron beam was checked. The results are promising. In the next step the real experiment will be planned for later this year.

We are pleased to present you with our 2022 Annual Report of our Technology Transfer Center. The Annual Report is available here in German.

Bread is a worldwide staple food, and baking industries across the globe supply food to millions of people every day. The oven is the largest energy consumer in industrial bakeries, leading more companies to explore new ways of baking bread. The combination of microwave and convective baking offers an energy-efficient way to bake bread in a shorter processing time. It could potentially help the industry overcome the challenge of reducing baking times while at the same time maintaining desired bread volume and quality properties.

The first week of May, our team together with SME company SwissSEM and University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland (FHNW) conducted a measurement campaign at the ChipIr beamline in ISIS neutron source. We have investigated the effects of cosmic-ray irradiation on the reliability of nanoscale oxide layers in power semiconductors. The results help SwissSEM to better understand the device failure related to cosmic neutrons and support development of more robust power semiconductors.
