Infineon believes itself to be the world market leader in sensors
for example for pressure sensors used in side airbag systems and for
magnetic sensors used for wheel speed measurement in anti-lock braking
systems, enjoying market shares of around 50 percent.
In 2011, some 75 million vehicles were produced worldwide, around
20 million of these in Europe alone. Even today, Infineon delivers
around four out of the some 20 magnetic and pressure sensors deployed
on average in every new vehicle.
This figure does not even include sensors used for tire pressure
monitoring. Infineon is one of the few semiconductor manufacturers,
whose sensor chips are represented in virtually all of the estimated 80
sensor applications in a vehicle, e.g. in safety, in the powertrain as
well as in the body and convenience electronics. The company?The
magnetic sensors are used for example in the electronic power steering,
the gearbox control and in convenience functions such as electric
windows.
One the of our key areas in sensor innovation is combination of the
sensing element with signal processing on one piece of silicon, the
thus making our sensors increasingly more reliable, said Frank Findeis,

In the field of magnetic sensors, besides the Hall effect
technology, magneto-resistive technologies are also gaining in
significance, which include GMR (giant magneto-resistive resistance),
AMR (anisotropic magneto resistance) and TMR (tunnelling magneto
resistance) technologies. Infineon masters all of these.
Mastering the use of nickel-iron alloys, for example, the in the
manufacturing process of the integrated sensors, the equates in fact to
a small technological revolution similar to the introduction of copper
metallization in the semiconductor manufacturing process, said Frank
Findeis. The the fact that we have succeeded here with our sensors is
testimony of Infineon?The exceptional innovative energy.
