Leibniz Institute for High Performance Microelectronics
The Leibniz Institute for High Performance Microelectronics (IHP) is the worldwide leading competence center for silicon-germanium technology.
We conduct cutting-edge research and development into silicon-based systems, high-frequency circuits and technologies for wireless and broadband communication. As a transition between basic research and application-oriented applications, the institute makes significant contributions to the innovative strength and ability of Germany and Europe as a location.
The IHP's research focuses on economically relevant topics that are used in:

Photonics for the future: Brandenburg's PICS4SENS research project launched
PICS4SENS has set itself an ambitious goal: to increase the technological maturity of photonic integrated circuits (PICs) and pave the way for commercialisation in sensor technology. Over a period of four years, the research consortium will receive a total of 3.4 million euros from the StaF-Verbund.
New Material Paves the Way to On-Chip Energy Harvesting
Researchers from Germany, Italy, and the UK have achieved a major advance in the development of materials suitable for on-chip energy harvesting. By composing an alloy made of silicon, germanium and tin, they were able to create a thermoelectric material. The research findings made it onto the cover of the renowned scientific journal ACS Applied Energy Materials.
Artificial intelligence for Brandenburg: IHP at the state's 3rd AI Day
The 3rd Brandenburg AI Day provided a platform for the exchange and networking of science and industry in the field of artificial intelligence. The IHP took the opportunity to present its expertise in the field of AI research to a wide audience.
Threat from Hardware Trojans: Study shows Manipulation Possibilities
On behalf of the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI), experts from the IHP - Leibniz Institute for High Performance Microelectronics prepared the study "Analysis of Hardware Manipulations in Distributed Manufacturing Processes (PANDA)". The result: Safety properties or functionality can be negatively affected in all sub-steps.
