Fraunhofer Institute for Electronic Microsystems and Solid State Technologies EMFT
A Day as a Female Researcher – Explore the World from Cleanroom to Quantum Lab on Girls’ Day!
What does a microchip actually look like under an electron microscope? Why do quantum computers require temperatures close to absolute zero? And what happens if a tiny chip suddenly gets an electric shock?
On Girls’ Day, the Fraunhofer EMFT opens its laboratories and cleanrooms just for you. You’ll get exclusive insights into research on microelectronics and semiconductor technology.
Together with our female scientists, you’ll explore real research environments, put on cleanroom clothing, and learn first-hand how modern technologies are developed.
We’ll also show you how research and sustainability are connected – energy-efficient chips, precise sensors, and new materials play a crucial role in creating a resource-conserving future.
You’ll also learn how we measure and reduce climate-damaging gases in semiconductor manufacturing and replace them with more environmentally friendly alternatives to make modern technologies sustainable.
Participation is suitable for interested female students from grade 8 onwards.
