Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Solid State Physics IAF
Fraunhofer IAF is extensively involved in establishing European pilot lines for microelectronics and quantum technologies, which aim to build resilient technological structures and strengthen the competitiveness of the European semiconductor industry. Fraunhofer IAF is driving the targeted expansion of its infrastructure as well as the transition of manufacturing to wafer sizes suitable for industrial use. These measures facilitate the transfer of new technologies into industrial applications.
Fraunhofer IAF offers the following in its pilot lines:
- Novel chiplets for high-frequency applications
- Integration of different semiconductor technologies
- Development of ultra-thin chiplets for further performance improvement
- Infrastructure and expertise in the field of low-temperature characterization
- Epitaxy and characterization of diamond for quantum technologies
Fraunhofer IAF is actively expanding its infrastructure as part of the European pilot lines initiative.
