The combination of mostly carbon-based materials enables the development of lightweight structures, which satisfy the mechanical stability and thermal requirements. The carrier structure of the MVD stripe detector is mainly composed of carbon foams, high fiber content CFC materials and PMI-based foams. This enables to selectively cool areas where heat is generated and to decouple them from the temperature-sensitive areas of the sensor system. Passive thermography is used during our development work mainly to validate the results of thermal simulations, for design optimization and for the functional control of the carrier structure. Additionally active thermography allows us to identify anomalies and thermal disturbances, which remain unnoticed in static processes. Also the investigation and characterization of adhesive layers are possible. For this purpose we developed special software algorithms which are sensitive to small-scale differences in temperature conductivity.
