electrical/electronic manufacturing

Pyreos is the world's only supplier of thin-film (semiconductor-scale) pyroelectric sensors. The company develops and makes these infra-red sensors for use in a wide variety of industrial and consumer products ranging from devices that analyse gases or detect flames through to spectrometers which analyse foodstuffs, engine oils and blood, through to switches and other electronics that detect gestures and presence. All these applications are achieved by infra-red sensing. The devices are created by a novel application of PZT (widely used elsewhere) and are manufactured using standard MEMs production techniques. Pyroelectric sensors are more sensitive than any other uncooled devices in the Mid Infra Red range. This range is called the "fingerprint zone" because it allows very accurate identification of gases, fluids and solids. The company was spun out of Siemens in 2007 following â‚¬10m (Â£7.5m) of research and development work and is based at the Scottish Microelectronics Centre in Edinburgh. Shareholders include Siemens Technology Accelerator (STA), Robert Bosch Venture Capital GmbH (RBVC), Scottish Investment Bank (the investment arm of Scottish Enterprise) & Seraphim Capital.
