Fraunhofer IPMS and BASF – Improved microchip interconnections
More power, more energy-efficiency, more complexity – manufacturers of modern microchips are constantly facing new challenges, also regarding the electrical connections required. Fraunhofer IPMS and BASF have been working together on this problem for ten years. The teams have pooled their infrastructure and expertise and thus have made it possible to evaluate chemicals, processes and […]
Fraunhofer IPMS solves interface problem with microdisplays
Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems IPMS have developed a Universal Display Data Converter (UDDC). This enables the transfer of image data to existing Fraunhofer microdisplays from various input interfaces. The new UDDC will be presented for the first time at the joint booth of the Fraunhofer Society in Hall B4, Stand No. […]
SRI – Building the next generation of electronics
Semiconductors play a crucial role in our modern, technology-fueled world. They’re at the heart of our cell phones, computers, and other electronics receiving, processing, and storing information. The process of manufacturing semiconductors must be precisely controlled — contamination by even a few unexpected molecules can change a semiconductor’s properties and alter a chip’s performance. “These […]
NREL breaks ground on new Colorado facility
The US Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) recently broke ground on its new Energy Materials and Processing at Scale (EMAPS) facility on the east side of its South Table Mountain Campus in Golden, Colorado. The 127,000-square-foot laboratory will be a signature facility enabling collaboration with industry partners, universities, and other DOE […]
Fraunhofer IPMS – Towards the first German quantum computer
Together with 24 German research institutions and companies under the coordination of Forschungszentrum (FZ) Jülich, Fraunhofer IPMS is working on an integrated German quantum computer based on superconducting quantum chips and with improved error rates. Halfway through the project, the first demonstrator can now be put into operation. The CNT at Fraunhofer IPMS is contributing […]
