High reliability Sun sensors are currently build using silicon detectors and aperture masks which are supported at an accurate distance above the sensitive detector surface. By using micro systems technologies like bulk and surface micro machining and wafer level bonding, highly precise and accurate sensors can be devised that are expected to have comparable performance but much smaller dimensions and mass.
