Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Systems and Device Technology IISB

The COVID-19 pandemic presents us with great challenges and requires all of us to act responsibly. Health is our highest priority. Therefore, we strictly adhere to the official regulations and the guidelines of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft. In addition, we are implementing measures specific for Fraunhofer IISB.

Despite the restrictions, we maintain operations at Fraunhofer IISB. Projects will still be worked on – taking strict precautions. Many of our employees are now working from home. They are reachable by phone to a limited extent; however, you can always reach them by e-mail. Should you have difficulties in finding your individual contact, please call + 49 (0) 9131 761-0 or send an e-mail to info@iisb.fraunhofer.de.

Thank you for your cooperation and take care!

With best regards,
Prof. Martin März
Director (acting) of Fraunhofer IISB  

The Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Systems and Device Technology IISB conducts applied research and development in the field of electronic systems for application in, e.g., electric mobility, aerospace, Industry 4.0, power grids or energy technology. In this connection, the institute uniquely covers the entire value chain - from basic materials to whole power electronic systems (for detailed information visit our research areas).  

As part of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, the IISB does contract research for industry as well as public authorities. On that note it is the institute’s main objective to provide excellent research for its industrial partners and to set technological benchmarks as one of the leading research institutions in electronic systems. A tightly woven network build out of local and international partnerships and cooperations helps to carry these aims into effect.  

Semiconductors and power electronics

With its two business areas, semiconductors and power electronics, the IISB provides innovation and solutions in various specialized fields:

•    materials development
•    semiconductor technology and manufacturing
•    electron devices
•    packaging and modules
•    vehicle power electronics
•    energy electronics  and energy supply systems

These services are supplemented by broad activities in test and reliability, simulation, characterization, and metrology.

In addition to silicon technology, the IISB has a strong focus on wide-bandgap semiconductors, especially silicon carbide (SiC). For SiC, the institute offers a complete technology backbone, including materials science, devices, modules, and their integration in highly efficient power electronic systems.
