Insights into SAL’s mission, values, research activities, and contribution to Europe’s innovation ecosystem.

AURORA

In collaboration with TDK Electronics, Silicon Austria Labs (SAL) developed next generation 2D micromirrors for AR/VR applications focused on large field of view, low power consumption and compact form factor. These devices were prototyped via SAL’s 200mm PiezoMEMS technology platform.

Project goals

  • Development of new concepts for designing efficient MEMS devices tailored to AR/VR applications
  • Development of thin film technological modules highlighted by high-quality piezoelectric thin films
  • Establishment and optimization of PiezoMOEMS microfabrication technological platform
  • Custom characterization setup and techniques tailored to PiezoMOEMS devices

An established design, technology and characterization platform was built and validated through multiple generations of PiezoMOEMS that have been successfully developed, built, and tested.

Mag-MEMS

The „Mag-MEMS“ project aims to develop a miniaturized 3D tactile sensor as a proof-of-concept demonstrator that can detect shear and normal forces with high spatial resolution and a large dynamic range. This will be achieved by integrating tailored arrays of anisotropic magnetoresistive (AMR) sensors, which allow for tracking the three-dimensional motion of a permanent micro-magnet embedded in a flexible frame in the sub-millimeter range….

PIXEL

Within the PIXEL project, state-of-the-art piezoelectric micro-electromechanical ultrasonic transducers (PMUTs) have been developed for next-generation gas flow meters, enabling reliable and accurate flow measurement under harsh environmental conditions….

Smart Bark Beetle Trap

In a joint project by Priot d.o.o. and Silicon Austria Labs, an intelligent, energy-autonomous bark beetle trap has been developed. It uses printed sensors, solar energy, and wireless data transmission to monitor infestation in real-time. This replaces labor-intensive manual monitoring, reduces workload, and simultaneously provides more precise data for more effective and sustainable control strategies.
