Infineon Case Study: GORE® Protective Membrane for Cutting-Edge Gas Sensors
Partnering for Innovation: Gore and Infineon Take Gas Detection Sensors to a New Level
Learn how Gore technology added the final touch to fully unleash the potential of Infineon’s cutting-edge photoacoustic spectroscopy (PAS) for CO2 detection. Discover how joined efforts achieved a sensor response time nearly cut in half, paving the way for a new range of applications.
Challenge
In recent years, the heightened focus on health and well-being has emphasized the significance of indoor air quality. Infineon, one of the leading sensor solutions manufacturers, seized this opportunity to further elevate their innovative PAS sensors for CO2 detection. As the demand for high-quality gas sensors was – and still is – on the rise, they aimed for optimized performance and a streamlined manufacturing process.
Photoacoustic spectroscopy has been a known technology for gas detection for several years now. However, Infineon developed a state-of-the-art sensor standing out with a particularly compact design. To develop it to its fullest, Infineon turned to the industry leader, Gore, who has the same innovative mind-set and ambition. Fortunately, they found their perfect match in Gore.
Result
Excellent teamwork, transparent communication, and a shared innovative mindset between Infineon and Gore shaped the entire collaboration. This project marked the first time that Gore developed a membrane for photoacoustic sensing applications, surpassing all expectations with impressive results:
+40% Improved Sensor Reponse Time
Compared to the first generation of Infineon’s PAS sensors while maintaining acoustic attenuation.
