About us

Who Are We?

Saxony is the most important research, development, and production center for micro- and nanoelectronics at both the national and European levels.

The High Performance Center "Functional Integration for Micro-/Nanoelectronics" brings together the R&D expertise of the Fraunhofer institutes IPMS, ENAS, IIS-EAS, and IZM-ASSID along the value chain for microelectronics and microsystems technology products in the following areas:

  • System design
  • Components and manufacturing processes
  • System integration
  • Reliability assessment

What Are High Performance Centers?

High Performance Centers are collaborations of multiple partners, including Fraunhofer institutes, universities, and non-university research institutions, working closely at one location together with companies and civil society stakeholders. They focus on region-specific research priorities, which are jointly advanced and subsequently transferred into practical applications in industry and society through various technology transfer measures. Depending on the orientation of the High Performance Center, different emphasis is placed on the various transfer pathways.

History

The Micro/Nano High Performance Center was launched in 2016 as one of three pilot centers and has since established itself as a key player in Saxony’s research and technology transfer landscape. The establishment of the center and the development of its technology platforms were significantly supported by funding from the Free State of Saxony. Together with university partners, the foundational technologies were developed, forming the backbone of the center’s service portfolio. In recent years, these foundations have been expanded, existing capabilities continued, and additional technologies as well as transfer measures and offerings have been added. More information about our technology portfolio can be found here.
