Six Fraunhofer Institutes have demonstrated the individualization of single products in mass production environments by the employment of digital printing and laser technologies. This substantial progress provides completely new opportunities for design and weight reduction by material savings.

Fraunhofer ENAS presents its research results on fabrication and application of aluminum nitride layers at the SENSOR+TEST in Nuremberg.

The Fraunhofer Institute for Electronic Nanosystems ENAS presents a near-field scanning system with both a very precise positioning system and a large movement range at the SENSOR+TEST 2019 in Nuremberg.

At the SENSOR+TEST 2019, Fraunhofer ENAS introduces an electroplating process to manufacture thick aluminum layers on up to 150 mm substrates.

At Smart Systems Integration Conference and Exhibition SSI 22019 for the first time the »Thomas Gessner Award« has been granted. The winner is Dr. Christian Huber, Robert Bosch GmbH Renningen.

Sensry enables small and medium-sized businesses to gain access to innovative semiconductor technologies

The Fraunhofer Institute for Electronic Nano Systems ENAS, with the support of SUFRAMA, organized the MINAPIM 2018 Seminar on 3rd and 4th December in Manaus at SUFRAMA headquarters. The Minapim series (Micro and Nanotechnology and Photonics Interface to the Market) has the aim of disseminating and discussing advanced technologies, which are state of the art. »Industry 4.0« and the »Internet of Things« (IOT) were special topics at MINAPIM 2018. The event was also attended by participants from other locations, such as researchers from Chemnitz Germany, Joinville, Florianópolis and Recife.

Dr. Lutz Hofmann received the research award of Fraunhofer ENAS in 2018. With his research results on 3D integration and copper-filled through silicon vias in microsystems, he contributed to the expert status of the Fraunhofer Institute for Electronic Nano Systems ENAS in Chemnitz as one of the few research institutes in this field.

During a festive ceremony on December 17, 2018, the continuative contract between Tohoku University Sendai, one of the Excellence Universities in Japan, and Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft for the continuation of the Fraunhofer ENAS Project Center “NEMS/MEMS devices and manufacturing technologies at Tohoku University” was signed.
