Fraunhofer IISB – Your partner in power electronic systems

As one of the 72 institutes and research units of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Systems and Device Technology IISB conducts contract research for industry and public authorities. Its main objective is to provide excellent research to its customers and to set technological benchmarks as one of the leading research institutions in electronic systems.

For this, about 220 employees plus numerous students work on a total area of approximately 7000 m². With various high-class laboratories allowing research and development on a broad range of power electronics, semiconductor technology, and materials developement.

Beside its headquarters in Erlangen, Fraunhofer IISB has a branch office in Freiberg / Saxony. In Freiberg, the IISB is active in the Fraunhofer Technology Center High Performance Materials THM. Here, innovative semiconductor materials for microelectronics, optoelectronics, and photovoltaics are developed. The institute closely cooperates with the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) and is a foundation member of the Energie Campus Nürnberg (EnCN).

IISB pursues cooperation with numerous national and international partners in joint projects and associations. For a comprehensive overview please visit Network & Cooperations

The Fraunhofer IISB Advisory Board has a significant impact on the Institute's strategic orientation. It has members from science, industry and politics who advise the IISB Directorate on strategic and structural development questions. The Chairman of the Advisory Board is Dr. Stefan Kampmann, Chief Technology Officer and member of the Executive Board of the Voith Group. Currently, the Fraunhofer IISB Advisory Board has a total of fifteen members.
