Fraunhofer Institute for Electronic Nano Systems
Fraunhofer ENAS is part of the Research Fab Microelectronics Germany (FMD). This research network with 13 members and with more than 2000 scientists is the largest R&D association for micro- and nanoelectronics in Europe. The cross-institutional technology portfolio of Forschungsfabrik Mikroelektronik Deutschland covers the areas of sensor systems, extended CMOS, microwave & terahertz, power electronics, MEMS actuators and optoelectronic systems. Due to its broad R&D portfolio, Fraunhofer ENAS is represented in all six technology platforms as well as in the cross-technology cross-sectional topic Advanced System Design. Furthermore, Fraunhofer ENAS contributes its expertise especially in the implementation of the cross-site Manufacturing Execution System MES.
The Fraunhofer concept of performance centers bundles and networks the competences of institutes and universities within a region. Fraunhofer ENAS works in two performance centers: the performance center "Smart Production and Materials" and the performance center "Functional Integration for Micro-/Nanoelectronics". In the former performance center, Fraunhofer ENAS is also integrated in the training for Smart Production Professional.
