Microsensors Research and Development at Bosch

Abstract

Robert Bosch GmBH has the distinction of successfully transforming many technology innovations related to microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) into manufacturable products. Bosch has been both a pioneer and a global market leader in the MEMS sensor segment since 1995 and now delivers, through Bosch Sensortec, a complete range of MEMS sensors and solutions tailored for smartphones, tablets, wearable devices and IoT (Internet of Things) applications. Our current microsensor product portfolio includes 3-axis acceleration, gyroscope and geomagnetic sensors, integrated 6- and 9-axis sensors, environmental sensors, along with comprehensive software suites. Today, maintaining market leadership requires continued improvements to existing product lines while maintaining high standards of innovation through development of new products. In this talk, I will address both technical and non-technical challenges that lay in the path of R&D teams in creating both innovative and equally successful microsensor products.

Structural and Physical Health Monitoring: Industrialization of Electronics Architectures for IIoT/IoT and Wearables Products

Daniel Gemota

Daniel Gemota, Jabil, San Jose, CA

Abstract

The acceleration of technology discovery and advancement (designs, materials, processes, and manufacturing equipment) is creating opportunities for new families of structural and physical health monitoring products. In addition, customers are demanding customizable solutions which is fueling manufacturing industry changes that must be addressed quickly. At a minimum, customers are expecting access to the most advanced technologies (flexible hybrid electronics, soft materials, energy harvesting components, etc.) and a turn-key agile manufacturing solution. They demand manufacturing options that provide end-product customization while maintaining access to scalable high volume, high mix production services that offer them flexibility to address speed to commercialization and market demand shifts.

The ability to successfully manufacture products that use novel materials, advanced processes, and unique equipment platforms requires disciplined innovation. Flexible hybrid electronics (FHE) offers functionality that provides product designers unbounded freedom to realize innovative products. An established supply chain and robust guidelines will assist designers to exercise FHE technologies to realize highly differentiated products. As FHE technology transitions from R&D Push to Product Designer Pull, it is critical for Standards Development Organizations (IPC, IEC, IEEE, etc.), Industry Trade Associations (SEMI, IPC, SGIA, etc.), and Innovation Institutes to establish several critical assets: 1) well developed supply chain (e.g. materials, equipment, and manufacturing platforms), 2) robust standard operating procedures (e.g. consumables storage, materials acceptance standards, certificates of compliance), 3) established design rules (e.g. flex, rigid-flex, ultra thin die), and 4) rigid manufacturing processes (e.g. handling and presentation of ultra thin die, processing environment – temperature, humidity) and equipment (e.g. pick & place, dispensing, curing, in-line/off-line inspection tools). These activities are necessary to ensure that FHE based products meet consumer demands for in-field performance.

Track 4: Gen3 Embedded Cooling for Wide Bandgap Power Amplifiers

Abstract

Successful utilization of the inherent capability of wide bandgap materials and architectures for RF power amplifiers necessitates the creation of an alternative, Gen3, thermal management paradigm. Recent Gen3 “embedded cooling” efforts in the aerospace industry have focused on overcoming the near-junction thermal limitations of conventional electronic materials through the use of diamond substrates and enhancing removal of the dissipated power with on-chip convective and jet impingement microfluidics.

Following the introduction of a modified Johnson Figure-of-Merit (JFOM-k), which includes thermal conductivity to reflect this thermal limitation, attention is turned to the options, challenges, and techniques associated with the development of embedded thermal management technology. Record GaN-on-Diamond power fluxes, in excess of 500W/mm2, and heat fluxes, above 400W/mm2, achieved in DARPA’s NJTT program, are described. Raytheon’s ICECool demonstration MMICs, which achieved 3.1× the CW RF power output and 4.8× the CW RF power density relative to a baseline design, are used to illustrate the efficacy of Gen3 embedded cooling.

The Role of Prognostics in Future Transportation Systems

Abstract

The ability to predict the failure of a system before it happens is critical to minimizing the impact of the event, whether the system is the human body, an airplane, or an automobile. In the future of transportation, “the system” will be more than a single vehicle, rather it will be an interdependent network of infrastructure, vehicles, and people. This talk will review recent advances in vehicle subsystem prognostics and discuss how these methods, in combination with new “big data” techniques, can be applied to the larger transportation ecosystem. Examples of transportation system failures and how prognostics may prevent them, will be reviewed. Opportunities for new development and initiatives will be presented.
