Brief Portrait

The institute’s services assist companies and users in a wide range of sectors. Components, systems, and production processes are developed, simulated, and implemented in close collaboration with customers. This process is aided by Fraunhofer ISIT’s use of technology platforms – production process flows defined for whole groups of components – meaning they can be used in production unchanged or with simple modifications to the design parameters.
Fraunhofer ISIT’s expertise presents particularly exciting possibilities for small and medium-sized enterprises looking to realize their technological innovations.

Fraunhofer ISIT has access to a 200 mm Silicon technology line (2500 m²) for front-end processes (MOS and PowerMOS). Specific processes for MEMS and NEMS as well as for packaging are implemented in a special newly built cleanroom (1000 m²). Extra laboratories covering an area of 1500 m² are dedicated to electrical and mechanical characterization of devices, assembly and interconnection technology, and reliability testing. Fraunhofer ISIT also operates a pilot production line for Li-polymer batteries. The institute’s facilities have been certified to ISO 9001:2008 for many years.
