Abstract

In this paper we present a concept to train physics students in the field of integrated sensor design realized at the faculty of physics and astronomy at Heidelberg University (Germany). A laboratory for design and test of integrated sensor chips has been set up and a course program for physics students has been introduced. The work of the laboratory is illustrated by the presentation of a project to design and build a tactile vision substitution system based on so-called vision chips.
