POE, B3, 3.1 (2002/2005), ref. 03/00197.
Duration: 3 years
Partners: UNINOVA/CEMOP, CENIMAT, Tekelec.
Responsible: R. Martins (coordinator)
The aim of this project is to develop
an optical inspection camera able to perform 3-D pattern
recognition on real time based on laser triangulation
and analogue detection principles.
“Development
of an IR detector based on c-Si-IRS”
POE, B3, 3.1 (2002/2005), ref. 03/00198.
Partners: UNINOVA/CEMOP, CENIMAT, CSP.
Duration: 3 years
Responsible: E. Fortunato (coordinator)
The aim of this project is to develop
IR detectors based on c-Si able to be integrated in
surveillance system at a very low cost. Apart from that,
it is also intention to develop the processes that allow
CEMOP to satisfy SME requirements concerning the production
of hybrid electronics, based on c-Si technologies for
electronic and other microelectronic applications.
“Solid
State Time Meters - METES”
POSI/6250- Invest. In consortium 2002/2005.
Partners: Tekelec, CENIMAT and UNINOVA/CEMOP.
Duration: 3 years
Responsible: E. Fortunato (coordinator).
This project aims to develop a
solid-state timer able to monitor the lifetime of a
device or equipment with which it is connected. The
device to be developed is based in the detection and
accumulation charge principle on structures, able to
satisfy the following requirements: ecological compatible
and measurements vibration’s and temperature independent
(solid state); to allow the visualization of the lifetime
of the device with and without energy applied; able
to restore the initial state; precision better than
5% over the full scale of the device; to have an alarm
indicating the end of life; costs below 2 Euros.
“Position
inspection systems based on linear integrated arrays-
POSINSPEC”
POCTI/6207 Invest. In consortium 2002/2005.
Duration: 3 years
Partners: Tekelec, CENIMAT, UNINOVA/CEMOP.
Responsible: R. Martins and F. Soares
This project aims to implement and to produce linear
integrated position arrays from 256 to 1024 lines, up
to now never produced. By doing so we expect to improve
the control and inspection of products in real time
in more than 70% (full and not sampling quality control),
highly important for Tekelec and other companies dealing
with operations related to in-line production and assembling
of components. This will also open new fields of operation
for Tekelec.
II- Fundamental and applied
projects
“An
one-step electropolimerisation of polypyrrole on metallic
oxidizables surfaces in aqueous solution”
POCTI/CTM/ /2003.
Duration: 3 years
Partners: FEUP, CENIMAT, IST.
Responsible: I. Ferreira and E. Fortunato
The aim of this project is to establish two main routes
concerning the use of polypyrrotic films as hard coatings
or cheap gas sensors for the food industry, based on
a new process to obtain polypyrrolitic homogeneous and
adherent coatings by electropolymerisation, using an
aqueous or hydroalcoholic solution containing pyrrole
and other pyrrole derivates.
“Intelligent
colour sensors based on new types of pin and MIS stacked
silicon based structures”
POCTI/CTM/37344/2002.
Duration: 3 years
Partners: CENIMAT e UNINOVA/CEMOP.
Responsible: I. Ferreira (coordinator)
The aim of this project is to develop
a new type of tandem MIS and pinnip graded structures
based on polymorphous Si deposited on TCO coated glass
substrates or on c-Si patterned wafers for colour sensor
applications with 2 or 3 terminals, aiming to improve
the response frequencies (>100KHz) around the virtual
human eye and to improve the colour separation resolution
and the threshold bias used, either for 2 or 3 accessible
terminals.
“Transparent
and conductive oxides for optoelectronic and gas sensor
applications”
POCTI/CTM/38924/2001.
Partners: CENIMAT e CEMOP.
Responsible: E. Fortunato (coordinator).
The scope of this project is to
produce and to develop transparent conductive oxide
(TCO) layers for optoelectronic and gas sensor applications,
reliable and have low cost, mainly for the new emergent
flexible electronic applications. That is, the deposition
process has to be taken place at temperatures below
100ºC, not compatible with the existing process
methods that require substrate temperatures above 200ºC.
“New
amorphous silicon based materials used in novel flexible
position sensors”
FCT, PCTI/1999/CTM/35440.
Partners: CENIMAT and CEMOP.
Duration: 11/201 a 07/204
Responsible: E. Fortunato (coordinator).
The main objective of this project
is to develop a new flexible large area a-Si:H PSD based
on pin, MIS or heterostructures of thin film silicon
and its alloys, satisfying the following requirements:
active area >10mm×40mm; radius of curvature
>14mm; spectral response optimised for 600-670nm;
linearity >99%; response time <100?s; resolution
<10?m; S/N ratio >7dB.
“A
new flexible position angular sensor to be integrated
in micromechanical devices”

Partners: CENIMAT, CEMOP.
Duration: 11/201 at 06/204
Responsible: E. Fortunato (coordinator).
The aim of this project is to develop
flexible position sensitive detectors for angular control
of micro motors and other micromanipulation applications,
with a position precision better than 1 micrometer,
a response time better than 5 ms and highly reliable.

Duration: 1999/2003.
Partners: CENIMAT e UNINOVA/CEMOP.
Responsible: R. Martins (coordinator).
The aim of this project is
to develop a new technology to process thin film silicon
semiconductors for optoelectronic device applications
such as solar cells. The main emphasis consists in combining
the plasma enhanced chemical vapour technology with
the hot wire process, aiming to produce nanocrystalline
and polycrystalline silicon thin films with the required
optoelectronic performances.
