300 mm front-end & back-end research platform
With Fraunhofer IZM-ASSID and Fraunhofer IPMS-CNT, two research facilities unique in Germany are located in Saxony. The industry-oriented 300 mm wafer standard used in both facilities is crucial to create a fast transfer of research results to the semiconductor industry in Saxony, nationwide and also worldwide. Particularly in view of Germany's much-vaunted technological sovereignty in the field of semiconductors, know-how from the research side deep into industrial processes - as found in these two facilities - is of great importance.
