Typical applications of the phototransistor arrays include optical encoders, incremental encoders, optical receivers and controls/drives.
Special features
First Sensor develops and manufactures powerful platform-based pressure sensors as well as unique sensor solutions for demanding customer specific requirements. A core competence of First Sensor is the development and manufacture of piezoresistive pressure sensors in a variety of stages such as sensor element, component, sensor and sensing system for OEM customers worldwide.
Being one of the leading companies in the field of piezoresistive pressure sensors our solutions are well known for the highest quality, performance and long term stability.
First Sensor's core competencies are the development and production of sensors for measuring mass and volume flow rates. Our flow rate sensors quickly record even the smallest flows with a high degree of accuracy. We offer leading solutions for medical and air conditioning technologies as well as for industrial applications.
Due to high aspect ratio microstructures (HARMS) the sensors feature ultra-low cross axis sensitivities. Further, the patented highly flexible AIM (Air gap Insulated Microstructures) technology minimizes parasitic capacitances.
Our rugged and compact cameras withstand the toughest conditions: cold, heat or permanent vibrations to name only a few.
At First Sensor the complete assembly process is under one roof - from the processing of the sensor chip to the finishing of the camera system. At the same time we save you unnecessary development effort during the integration into your systems due to our modular camera design with different interfaces and data formats. All cameras can be adapted quickly and flexibly to customer-specific requirements.
The Area View Kit from First Sensor allows to quickly and easily build up, develop, and test a demo 360° all-round view system for applications in special vehicles and machines. It accelerates the development process and minimizes technology risks. The kit consists of four digital HDR-CMOS cameras, software and a range of accessories. The
Area View Kit is ideal for solution providers, integrators and OEMs in the area of motor vehicles, commercial vehicles, special vehicles, as well as agricultural, construction and mining machines.

First Sensor specializes in the development and manufacture of custom sensors, micro systems, hybrid circuits, modules and complex systems. We have many years of application experience from development projects in the medical, industrial electronics, optoelectronics, power electronics, aerospace and automotive market.
As a solution provider we offer complete development services from a first draft and proof of concept up to the development of prototypes and finally serial production. Custom sensors and complex systems from First Sensor allow you to shorten your design cycle, save development costs and achieve competitive advantages as well as fast innovations to the market.
Our development departments provide the basic requirements for highly reliable products through the optimal implementation of your specific requirements by means of their long-standing technological expertise. You will receive support from experienced engineers, who meet customer-specific requirements by using modern CAD-systems for circuit design, layout creation and mechanical constructions. To achieve smooth production, technologies are developed for the support of individual construction and connection technologies and the corresponding necessary production equipment and test fixtures are manufactured. In order to ensure a successful project we place special emphasis on close cooperation with you. From design to series production you will receive sound technical support.
Our knowledge of mechanical, thermal and electrical test procedures, as well as of analytical methods for failure analysis and the characterization of material systems (chemical methods, X-ray and ion imaging, ultrasound techniques), is a prerequisite for selection of the optimum materials and technology for your specific packaging solution.
Furthermore, to ensure a constant high product quality, we define and realize the required test and quality criteria for the manufacturing process in accordance with the product specifications. This may include pull/shear tests, gross and fine leakage tests, temperature cycling, climate tests, surface analysis, x-ray and ultrasonic testing, standard micrographs and failure analyses.
Our sensors, micro systems, circuits and assemblies are manufactured, tested and qualified according to the standards and screening test methods specified by you.
First Sensor assembles your products with state-of-the-art microsystem technology and automatic equipment in class 100,000 to class 100 clean rooms (ISO 8 to ISO 5) in flexible manufacturing islands or with dedicated production lines for high-volume orders. To ensure our constantly high level of quality and reliability, all manufacturing facilities are integrated into a system of continuous process monitoring.
The ramp-up phase at our production facility is characterized by the transfer of responsibility from prototyping to series production, direct supervision of this transition by our process specialists, and further increased quality checks.
An ERP system with database support ensures the full traceability of your products at batch level. Upon request, we are also able to guarantee you traceability down to the level of single component
