Research in Nanoelectronics
Fraunhofer Center Nanoelectronic Technologies (CNT) in Dresden works on the solution of various problems that the semiconductor industry is faced with. Its main fields of research are the characterization of materials, the development of analytic methods and the improvement of process technologies, based on a leading 300 mm tool set. Various synergy effects can be used due to the close cooperation with the business partner GLOBALFOUNDRIES and the existing know-how. Thus the innovations can be integrated quickly into the manufacturing process and the production costs and time can be reduced considerably.
