The network

TThe aims of the MST Network Rhine-Main are:

  • to enhance technology and knowledge transfer between science and industry in the area of microsystems technology
  • to improve conditions for microsystems technology in the Rhine-Main area
  • o increase the scientific and technological competence of the region.
These aims are being achieved through:
  • information exchange and mutual support
  • a common platform to present the companies of the region
  • support of cooperation and technology transfer between research institutes and industry.

Main activities

The MST Network Rhine-Main e.V. is a young initiative of industry representatives and academic institutions. It includes MST component producers (producers of thermopiles and magnetoresistive sensors, actuators, and microelectronics, for example), their integrators and users (in power plants, machine building and the automotive area), suppliers (of measurement instruments, fabrication equipment, and materials), and universities, research institutes, and universities of applied science based in the region.
The members of the MST-R-M network are organised in working groups:
- micro drives workgroup
- microassembly and micromanufacturing workgroup
- measurement and sensors / micro-optics workgroup
- semiconductor technology workgroup
- Bio-MEMS (microfluidics) workgroup
- micro-nano integration workgroup
- sensor systems in Central Hesse workgroup
The workgroups organise regular meetings to discuss projects of common interest.

The technological focus

Our members' common aims are achieved by

  • a common presentation platform for participants from the region (a common leaflet, Internet presence, support activities)
  • contact to other national and international networks and associations
  • development of new technologies and support of innovations
  • generation of joint new projects.

Our industrial partners offer products, technologies and services:

  • magnetic sensor elements, gas sensors, infrared thermopiles, optical sensors
  • microelectronics, ASICs, and their applications
  • optical systems and analytical instruments
  • user support in machine building and automotive technologies.

Highlights

Micro-nano integration

Technical developments in microsystems technology are leading to the further miniaturisation of microstructured elements and products and to the utilisation of different nanomaterials. These developments lead to new and improved products, in particular in the area of gas sensors. The INANOMIK project currently being supported by the German Ministry of Education and Research is investigating the application of metallic nanowires for gas sensors.
