Institute of Electron Technology, Warsaw, is a research centre established in 1966 by the Council of Ministers. The aim of the Institute of Electron Technology is the support of the electronic
industry by development and dissemination of new, knowledge based, technologies and designs. The mission of the Institute is to develop and commercialise technologies in the field of semiconductor devices and
microelectronics. The basic statutory activity of the Institute is financed by the State Committee for Scientific Research. Additional fundings of research is provided in the form of grants for research teams and
individual researchers, contacts with the industry and international programms. The Institute provides leadership in solving Poland's electronics industry problems ranging from developing strategies aimed at its
rebuilding to awaking public awareness to the role which electronics industry plays in modern information society.
The Project will be carried out in the Dept. of Semiconductor Sensors and Dept. of Microelectronics Technology. The Dept. of Semiconductor Sensors has a deep experience in modelling, simulation and
design of micromechanical sensors based on utilization of piezoresistive effect in silicon. It is equipped with necessary computer and software tools such as SAMCEF finite element simulation package as well as
proprietary computational techniques and tools for characterisation of piezoresistive devices. The Dept. of Microelectronics Technology include a fully equipped CMOS technology line, capable of R&D in the area
of microelectronics and silicon microengineering, up to a prototype and pilot production stage. A strong part of the Department is broad and diverse experience in the field of silicon technology as well as pilot
production capability. The first feature enables transfer of the knowledge between various types of technology such as from CMOS and micromachined silicon sensors to detectors and vice versa. The second – small
scale production – stabilizes technology and verifies usefulness of the developed devices.
