Design and Layout of Integrated Circuits (IC)

Today, semiconductor components are used in almost every technical device - from the intelligent control of smart household appliances and autonomous and intelligent vehicles to cell phones and networked machines in Industry 4.0 manufacturing. Within them, extensive functionalities are combined in a very small space. However, very specific applications with novel functional requirements, new fields of application, further miniaturization, better energy efficiency, lower manufacturing costs or higher reliability often require new and customized IC designs and layouts which are not available on the market in this form. Here Fraunhofer EMFT supports its customers in their search for an optimal system solution, a customized division between commercially available components and the development of customer-specific circuits.
