The Fraunhofer ISIT operates state-of-theart production lines for processing silicon with an accuracy in the nanometer range.

Together with Ovesco Endoscopy AG and SENSODRIVE GmbH, Fraunhofer IZM is deve-loping a camera pill for minimally invasive stomach examinations.

Heat pumps play a decisive role in the energy transition in Germany: Sustainably generated electricity provides heat in winter and a good climate in summer.

Together with the TU Berlin, Fraunhofer IZM is developing a microbattery for a hearing contact – an extremely small hearing aid, that attaches directly to the eardrum.

Rising food demand and climate change require increasingly targeted management of agricultural land. Fraunhofer ENAS is working on the development of cost-efficient and eco-friendly sensor systems based on printing technologies and novel sensors.

Fraunhofer IISB has integrated a new cogeneration plant into its operating infrastructure. A special operating strategy was used to optimize the plant for peak load reduction.

The research group “BATS” (German acronym for ”Dynamically Adaptive Tracking Sensor Networks”), in which Fraunhofer IIS was also involved, has developed a tracking system for bats

Researchers at Fraunhofer IAF have succeeded in developing a new type of transistor with extremely high cut-off frequencies: Metal Oxide Semiconductor HEMTs, or MOSHEMTs, in short. For this purpose, they replaced the Schottky barrier of the conventional HEMT with an oxide. The result is a transistor that enables even smaller and more powerful components and that has already reached a record frequency of 640 GHz.

Highly efficient power semiconductors are to pave the way for a wide range of new applications – from electromobility to artificial intelligence (AI). This is the aim of the recently launched project “Power Transistors Based on AlN (ForMikro-LeitBAN)”, in which FMD members Fraunhofer IISB and Leibniz FBH are also involved.
