R&D & foundry services for MEMS/MOEMS and nanoelectronics.
Overview
The Fraunhofer IPMS with its 300 employees is dedicated to applied research in the fields of photonic microsystems, microsystems technologies, nanoelectronic technologies and wireless microsystems. More than 50 percent of our annual operating expense of 35 million euros is financed by direct commissions from industry.
Regarding MEMS&MOEMS we offer complete solutions: From conception to component right up to complete systems. This includes sample and pilot production in our 1500 m² (15,000 ft²) clean room (ISO 14644-1 class 4). Our institute is certified according to DIN EN 9001:2008 for research, development and fabrication including semiconductor and microsystem processes as well as integrated actuators and sensor technologies.
Additionally, our business unit Center Nanoelectronic Technologies CNT provides services in the field of nano and micro electronics with functional electronic materials, processes and systems, device and integration, maskless lithography and analytics. Another 800 m² of clean room space (ISO 14644-1 class 6) is available, along with analysis and metrology processes with atomic resolution and high sensitivity.
