IVAM Microtechnology Network
The Fraunhofer Institute for Silicon Technology ISIT develops and produces power electronics and microsystems according to customers specifications. Important areas of application include energy technology, automotive and transport engineering, the consumer goods industry, medical technology, communications technology, and automation. Ultra-modern technological equipment based on 200 mm silicon wafer technology and expertise built up over decades put Fraunhofer ISIT and its customers at the forefront of the field worldwide.
Fraunhofer ISIT deals with all the important aspects of system integration, assembly and interconnection technology (packaging), and the reliability and quality of components, modules, and systems. The institute also provides manufacturing support for application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) to operate sensors and actuators. Activities are rounded off by the development of electrical energy storage devices, with a focus on Li-polymer batteries.
One thing that really sets Fraunhofer ISIT apart is the speed with which it can transfer innovative developments into industrial application and production. To this end, Fraunhofer ISIT operates a wafer production line in its cleanrooms in collaboration with the companies Vishay and X-FAB MEMS Foundry Itzehoe. There are longstanding collaborations with a variety of manufacturing companies local to Fraunhofer ISIT. The quality management system at Fraunhofer ISIT is qualified according to ISO 9001:2015.
