Connecting continents through shared visions that will shape the 𝗳𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗺𝗶𝗰𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 – this was the motto of a 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵-𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗩𝗶𝗲𝘁𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻'𝘀 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝘁 to our institute last week.   Back in summer, Fraunhofer ENAS in Chemnitz welcomed representatives from the 𝗩𝗶𝗲𝘁𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗕𝗶𝗻𝗵 𝗗𝘂𝗼𝗻𝗴, which, along with Ho Chi Minh City, is one of the economically strongest provinces in Vietnam and, thanks to its exceptionally high-tech infrastructure and density of internationally important key players will develop into a highly innovative hub for microtechnology in Asia in the coming years. By signing a "Memorandum of Understanding", the German-Vietnamese partners – the industrial real estate company Becamex IDC Vietnam and Fraunhofer ENAS – sealed their intention of a 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴-𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗺 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗳𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗼 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘆 as part of this emerging Asian microtechnology location in Vietnam.   Following the "Memorandum of Understanding", the discussions on cooperation between government representatives of the Binh Duong province, the Chairman of Becamex IDC Corp, Nguyen Van Hung, and our institute director Prof. Dr. Harald Kuhn were now continued and shared visions and objectives were developed as a basis for a successful cooperation starting in 2025.   "Due to our scientific excellence in the field of micro- and nanotechnologies and our long-standing ties to Vietnam, we are extremely pleased to be part of this dynamic growth region as a European partner and to actively drive technological innovations and progress here in the future," says Prof. Dr. Harald Kuhn.   In addition to an exchange on innovation transfer at Fraunhofer, Saxony's development into a microelectronics ecosystem presented by Silicon Saxony, an exchange with political representatives such as Ralph Burghart, Mayor for Human Resources, Finance and Education of Stadt Chemnitz, and Alexander Dierks, President of Sächsischer Landtag, was also on the agenda of the visit, for whose commitment to strengthen the connection to Vietnam, we would like to express our sincere thanks.

On site in Regensburg: Today the time had finally come – together with guests from politics and industry, we celebrated the 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗳 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗻𝗲𝘄 "𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗢𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗲" in the innovation and start-up center "TechBase" in 𝗥𝗲𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗯𝘂𝗿𝗴.   We are delighted that, in addition to our headquarters in Chemnitz and our location in Paderborn, we now also have 𝗮 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵 𝗼𝗳 𝗚𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘆 in a highly dynamic, fast-growing region and vibrant research and economic landscape. In the heart of Bavaria and in 𝗰𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘅𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀, we are thus creating optimal conditions for jointly developing cutting-edge technologies in the field of microelectronics.   The region, with its numerous players, such as thriving start-ups, well-known high-tech companies, many small and medium-sized enterprises as well as higher education institutions, offers us a unique and stimulating ecosystem with a high level of innovative strength.

Roads are exposed to vibrations and shocks every day, which can be caused by external influences, such as transport-related shocks. This can, for example, result in cracks in the road surface, which could endanger road users. A 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳-𝘀𝘂𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗼𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁 that keeps an eye on infrastructures in advance can provide a solution.   The miniaturized sensor technology 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲𝘀, requires no batteries or cables and generates its energy exclusively from the measured variable itself. With its help, 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗿𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀, but also 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀 or 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 can be continuously monitored and maintenance cycles can be optimized in advance. This would make it possible to reliably monitor the functionality of infrastructures, detect potential risks at an early stage and ensure more safety.   This is made possible by the combination of two microtechnological components: a 𝗽𝗶𝗲𝘇𝗼𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗿 detects mechanical movements, such as vibrations and shocks, and converts the mechanical energy into electrical energy. This energy is enough to continuously collect data of critical harmful events that indicate possible wear and tear of components, for example, and to store this data on a 𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿.   This data represents mechanical load patterns and provides information on the duration and number of physical events, shocks and vibrations that have acted upon roads or industrial plants, for example. This allows conclusions to be drawn about their condition and an assessment to be made as to whether components need to be replaced, for example, before a damage event occurs and thus a possible machine downtime due to wear or material fatigue.   Would you like to find out more about this “𝘇𝗲𝗿𝗼-𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆” 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻?

Recently, our institute director, Prof. Dr. Harald Kuhn, had the honor of giving a keynote speech at the 𝟭𝟯𝘁𝗵 𝗜𝗘𝗘𝗘 𝗖𝗣𝗠𝗧 𝗦𝘆𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘂𝗺 𝗝𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗻 (𝗜𝗖𝗦𝗝𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰) presenting Fraunhofer ENAS as a competent research and innovation partner and giving an insight into our research expertise.   One of the key topics was 𝗵𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, in which components from different semiconductor technologies are cleverly combined for significantly improved functionality and performance. "Thanks to advances in the latest 𝘄𝗮𝗳𝗲𝗿 𝗯𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗶𝗲𝘀, the use of 𝗔𝗜-𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗱 '𝗱𝗶𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝘄𝗶𝗻𝘀' in the field of process control and optimization in semiconductor manufacturing as well as quality assurance through innovative 𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗱𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 of advanced semiconductor components, we can successfully meet the challenges of heterointegration and thus pave the way for the 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗹𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘅 𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘆," says Harald Kuhn.   The leading international symposium for components, packaging and manufacturing technology brings together world-leading players, including companies and research institutions, every year in Japan.   "The event was the perfect opportunity to meet with decisive actors from science and industry, exchange ideas, make new contacts and discuss research results – combined with the long-term goal of accelerating the transfer from science to practice. Our institute already cooperates successfully with Japan, for example with the Tohoku University and the Ritsumeikan University, and I am looking forward to finding new points of contact for cooperation and expanding these in the future, inspired by events like this one," explains our institute director.

To detect cancer not only more reliably but also noninvasively and to initiate therapies at an early stage: this is the mission of the collaboration between Klinikum Chemnitz gGmbH and Fraunhofer ENAS. The World Health Organization predicts that the number of cancer cases could rise rapidly and significantly by 2050. Early diagnosis as well as appropriate, individualized treatment are therefore crucial to increase the chances of recovery for affected patients. This is exactly what we are working on together with the Klinikum Chemnitz gGmbH: Together we will 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗯𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴, which helps to visualize first signs of diseases, 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗱𝘀 (𝗔𝗜) and thus 𝗮𝗱𝘃𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝗮𝗴𝗻𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿. Sophisticated algorithms have the potential to effectively support diagnostics: Established AI-based methods enable the analysis of huge amounts of data and the identification of patterns within the data. At present, however, it is often only image data that is analyzed, while other parameters, such as patient and laboratory data, are not considered. Using the "𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗰𝘀" 𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗱, detailed image features of tumors, such as texture, shape and intensity characteristics, can be extracted from radiological findings. By comparing these results with laboratory medical findings and their molecular or genetic information, a diagnosis can be made more reliably and, above all, non-invasively. This improves the accuracy and reliability of diagnoses – without the need for surgery or a biopsy. A second pillar of the collaboration between our two Chemnitz institutions in the field of radiology is the development of 𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗵𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗼𝗺𝘀 that artificially mimic the human anatomy. Together we will develop a dynamic test phantom for computer tomography to simulate physiological processes in the human body, such as blood circulation. This will, among other things, optimize the use of contrast agents in radiological examination procedures. We are very pleased about the collaboration with the Klinikum Chemnitz gGmbH and are confident that together we will be able to take important steps in modern diagnostics.

What would our world be like without electronics? No car would take us from A to B, no smartphone could warn us about tomorrow´s rainy weather and no TV could inform us about the latest news in the world.   Microelectronics is essential for modern technology, as none of these devices would function without these critical core components. A significant proportion of the semiconductor components in use today rely on bulk semiconductor technologies. However, new functionalities and the ongoing miniaturization of advanced electronic products and devices demand new integration concepts and performant new materials.   Researchers like our colleague Dr. Sascha Hermann and his group at the Center for Micro- and Nanotechnology at Technische Universität Chemnitz and Fraunhofer ENAS have taken up this topic and have developed a 𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗲 𝗮𝗱𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 with which functional, so-called 𝘀𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗯𝗼𝗻 𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗼𝘁𝘂𝗯𝗲𝘀 (𝗖𝗡𝗧𝘀), can be integrated as a versatile and performant building block in next-generation electronic designs.   In close collaboration, the both partners are establishing a 𝗽𝗶𝗹𝗼𝘁 𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝘁𝘆𝗽𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘀𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗿 𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿. Under near-industrial conditions, comprehensive prototyping and development services will be provided for CNT integration across a wide range of applications, along with R&D support for nanomaterials in heterogeneous technologies.   The CNT technology impresses with the following 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗳𝗶𝘁𝘀:   ✓ Electronic-grade commercially available CNT material ✓ Resource- and material-saving process ✓ Scalable process for CNT-monolayers with CNT alignment and high density ✓ Highly energy-efficient electronic building blocks ✓ Impressive sensitivity in gas- and biosensors ✓ Inherent miniaturization capability ✓ Substrate-independent device technology ✓ Compatible with CMOS, MEMS, MOMS, PIC or flexible technologies.   Convinced?
