  • Method and sensor system for measuring gas concentrations
    Patent number: 11156577
    Abstract: In an embodiment a sensor system includes a carrier implemented as one of a ceramic carrier, a printed circuit board or a transistor outline header, a measuring area semiconductor body implemented as a first micromechanical component, a gas sensor implemented as a second micromechanical component and including an electrode assembly, a sensitive layer and a sensor membrane that spans a recess, wherein the measuring area semiconductor body and the gas sensor are connected to each other, a further sensor with a further electrode assembly and a further sensitive layer, wherein the further sensor is a further gas sensor or a humidity sensor, and a measuring area filled by the gas sample and arranged between the measuring area semiconductor body and the gas sensor, wherein the gas in the measuring area is in contact with the gas sensor and the further sensor.

  • METHOD AND SENSOR SYSTEM FOR MEASURING GAS CONCENTRATIONS
    Publication number: 20190271655
    Abstract: A method for measuring the concentration of at least one gas from a gas sample by a sensor system (10) which has a measuring area (12) with at least one gas sensor (14), wherein the inlet of the measuring area (12) being closed by a gas-permeable structure (13) such that the volume of the measuring area (12) is initially heated up, the heating is then switched off and the change in resistance of the at least one gas sensor (14) is measured.
