Research of the Materials Department
The activities of the Department Materials Research are focused on the research program "Materials for Micro- and Nanoelectronics".
Materials research at IHP targets the integration of new materials into the technology to achieve additional or better functionalities. It also geared towards the preparation of new research fields at the institute.
The selection and manufacturing of insulators with high permittivity, including the associated gate materials, is currently one focal point of IHP´s materials research. Application specific developments of these insulators for MIMs (metal insulator metal), memory, and CMOS are being realized together with IHP´s technology or with industrial partners.
A spectrum of smaller projects is being conducted in new and promising areas. In successful cases they are then worked on with increased capacity. Examples of promising research areas include the integration of optical data transmissions in microelectronics and the combination of microelectronics with biology or medical applications.
