High-performance materials such as new semiconductor and energy materials are fundamental to solve the major challenges of our time: the transformation of our energy system towards sustainability, intelligent mobility and digitalization. Our main interest is a profound understanding of the material properties in order to develop new processes and integration schemes for the need of battery and semiconductor technology. At the IISB’s branch office in Freiberg, Saxony, we investigate new, high-performance materials and the associated efficient manufacturing processes at the Fraunhofer Technology Center High Performance Materials THM together with our partners, the Fraunhofer IKTS and the Institute of Applied Physics (IAP) of the TU Bergakademie Freiberg.
