Joint Labs

The IHP has several joint labs with universities in the region Berlin-Brandenburg. The joint labs bundle the research potentials of both sides and run interdisciplinary research. Both, the professors as well as the students are significantly involved. Currently there are three joint labs with regional higher education institutions:

Joint Lab IHP/BTU Cottbus

The Joint Lab located on the campus at the Brandenburg Technical University Cottbus (BTU) was founded in 2000. It participates in research aimed at using silicon properties that have not been used to date for new application areas. Furthermore, the nearby University of Applied Sciences Lausitz is also associated with the Joint Lab and has contributed engineering and preparation work.

Within the framework of its research projects, the Joint Lab collaborates nation-wide with various research facilities and silicon companies. The BTU Cottbus and the IHP – via the Joint Lab IHP/BTU – are members of the international consortium SiWEDS (Silicon Wafer Engineering & Defect Science), associating well reputed semiconductor companies and well-known universities such as Standford, Berkeley and the MIT.

Joint Lab IHP/UAS Wildau

The Joint Lab of the IHP and the University of Applied Sciences Wildau (UASW), a joint research and education centre, was inaugurated in 2006. The main research focus lies in the development of new silicon-based device concepts and technologies for high performance electronics and photonics. Another central field of activity in the Joint Lab is teaching.

Joint Lab IHP/TU Berlin

The Joint Lab of the IHP and the Technical University of Berlin (TUB) was founded in 2008. The cooperation with the TU Berlin aims at the combination of Silicon Electronics with Optoelectronics as Silicon Photonics.
