Fraunhofer Itzehoe
The Fraunhofer-Institut für
Siliziumtechnologie (ISIT), Itzehoe, works on design, development and
production of microelectronic components as well as on microsensors,
microactuators and other components for microsystems technology. All devices of
this kind can be delivered either being prototypes or customer specific series.
The institute is running together with the
company Vishay Semiconductor Itzehoe GmbH a professional semiconductor
production line. This line is used for the production of microelectronic
devices (PowerMOS) and microsystems by Vishay as well as for R&D projects
for new components and technological processes by ISIT.
ISIT applies an ISO 9001:2000 certified
quality management system for the development, qualification and production of
microtechnical components. In view of current and future production and
development activities for automotive industries, preparations for an
additional TS 16949 certification are being pursued. Further services offered
by the institute are the analysis and development of technology pertaining to
the quality and reliability of electronic assemblies as well as packaging and
mounting technology for microsystems, sensors and multichip modules. A new
activity is the development of advanced power-supply components for electronic
systems.
The complete institute staff consists of
about 150 employees.
Service
Offers
From single components to complete systems
ISIT, as a contract research institute, offers design, simulation and
manufacturing to technology-oriented enterprises. As our customers, they
specify the field of application of the desired products and the profile of
requirements. The execution of the tasks
is accomplished in close cooperation with the client. After realisation of
demonstration models and prototypes, the technology developed within the
project will be transfered to the customer. Confidentiality of results and
exchanged intellectual property is ensured. The services of ISIT are especially very profitable
for small- and medium-sized enterprises which cannot afford the big capital
investments of a technological infrastructure. They can utilize the competence
of the institute for development, testing and introduction of necessary
technological innovations. The close
cooperation of ISIT with the nearby Innovationszentrum Itzehoe (IZET) allows
additional services for start-ups and young companies: IZET provides office and
laboratory areas, supports the finding of products needed by the market, helps
in preparing marketing strategies and informs about financial support.
