MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY

In the field of medical technology we are specialized in applications of optical evaluation methods and miniaturization with function integration. Optically isolated transmission and receive channels on one board, taking thermal management into account, are particularly in demand in photometry, endoscopy and spectrometry.

You can rely on 15 years of experience in the field of non-invasive applications under consideration of ISO 13485, with small and large quantities.

SENSOR

At AIM, we provide you with complete process chains for your innovation, from adjustment to integration technology. Based on your requirements, we create processes in close cooperation or offer individual components for customer-specific solutions such as SMD packages, opto-packages or special assemblies with high positioning accuracy of chips. Your advantages at one glance:
- Miniaturization
- Frontend & Backend Solution

IOT - INTERNET OF THINGS & Industry 4.0

Production processes are becoming increasingly digital and our solutions start where technology combines with online solutions. Our goal is to create sustainable solutions in the interest of our projects and customers:
- Miniaturization
- web-based data handling & data transfer
- intelligent sensor solutions for front and back end

Medical Technology

The camera module takes over the measuring function in a Cardiac Reader. Annual quantities of between 2,000 and 10,000 components pose a logistical challenge, especially when DIN ISO 13485 is taken into account. The module reacts sensitively to positioning errors in the single-digit micrometer range caused by the fluctuating of quality of the individual parts. That’s why we opted for the process of optically active alignment and developed a corresponding measuring and alignment technology. This we integrated into our micro assembly cell. The process, validated according to ISO 13485, ends with a 100% functional test at a process-adapted test station. Production takes place under clean room conditions.

Medical Technology

In the field of X-ray technology, the market is currently undergoing a change from the old-fashioned photo film to the digital image sensor. The challenge lies in developing an image sensor of the size of the old photo plate. AIM assembles image sensors up to a size of 300x300 mm² using 6 inch wafer scale image sensors. The distance between the individual sensors is less than 50 µm. With the help of our high-precision wafer sawing process, the customer loses a maximum of just one pixel line between the sensors.

Medical Technology

The dental fixation station is a device used for the polymerization of light-curing resins as a dental filling. We have all the technologies to produce a very small, high power LED module that fits into the head of this station. It includes ceramic thick film technology, LED chip bonding, gold wire bonding, lens adjustment, lens filling and final testing.

Sensors

We were able to contribute our know-how in system design to the production of the first HD camera for subjective bird flights. 40 camera front-end modules were set up, which were used during the shooting of the award-winning film. The special challenge in this project is to fill out the format of a cinema screen with a very small, high-resolution camera. The tilting of the image sensor, resulting from manufacturing tolerances during the production of the image sensor board, is visible on the screen as local blurring. Because of this, we developed an adjustment technology which we integrated into our system. This technology uses measurement signals, that come from several spatial directions, as controlled variables in the adjustment process with a special manipulator (resolution: 50 nm @ 6 degrees of freedom). This method allows us to set an accuracy of 2 angular seconds. The system was robust against vibrations and other environmental influences during bird flight.

SENSOR TECHNOLOGY

The curved image sensor is a new technology. There is a big demand for it but not many companies are working on it. This technology can save lenses. The lens system becomes smaller and cheaper, but also the image sharpness, especially in the image edge, is increased. We developed a basic technology and will adapt the process for this type of image sensor to the sensors of our customers.

IoT/4.0

The idea of developing an ultra-flat camera with platform character for machine vision applications was developed in close cooperation with Thuringian institutes and companies. The platform was developed because minor adjustments to the optics can be made to address different functionalities, such as microscopes or classic cameras. The flat design of the lens unique is, which allows it to be used in small spaces and it meets the demand for low weight.


We are using this system in the form of a microscope (with an object field corresponding to the sensor surface) for process monitoring.

IoT/4.0

Our customer (Micro Sensys GmbH) owns the world's smallest RFID transponder technology with integrated coil on the chip with a size of approx. 1.5mm³.
The patented mic3® transponders have sufficient storage capacity and high reliability (-45°C to +200°C). These transponders can be produced very efficiently in large quantities through the consistent use of wafer processes.

Due to their minimal size and weight, the sensors can easily be integrated into existing processes (maintenance, identification, tool management, tree identification, bee identification, temperature monitoring, part identification, etc.). We take care of the separation of the sensors on behalf of the customer.
