Re­search Fab Mi­cro­elec­tron­ics Ger­many (FMD)

One-​stop Shop: From basic re­search to customer-​specific prod­uct de­vel­op­ment.

As a co­op­er­a­tion of the Fraun­hofer Group for Mi­cro­elec­tron­ics with the Leib­niz In­sti­tutes FBH and IHP, the Re­search Fab Mi­cro­elec­tron­ics Ger­many (FMD) is the cen­tral con­tact for all ques­tions con­cern­ing micro-​ and na­no­elec­tron­ics. As a one-​stop shop, FMD has been com­bin­ing sci­en­tific ex­cel­lence, application-​oriented tech­nolo­gies and sys­tem so­lu­tions of the 13 co­op­er­at­ing in­sti­tutes from the Fraunhofer-​Gesellschaft and Leib­niz As­so­ci­a­tion into a customer-​specific of­fer­ing since 2017.  

With more than 4,500 em­ploy­ees and a di­ver­sity of ex­per­tise and in­fra­struc­ture, the vir­tual um­brella or­ga­ni­za­tion of FMD is the largest as­so­ci­a­tion of its kind in Eu­rope. 

As a pi­o­neer in cross-​location and cross-​technology co­op­er­a­tion, FMD is ac­tively ad­dress­ing the cur­rent and fu­ture chal­lenges of elec­tron­ics re­search to en­sure the preser­va­tion and ex­pan­sion of Ger­many's and Eu­rope's tech­no­log­i­cal sov­er­eignty. As a strate­gic part­ner, FMD ac­tively con­tributes to the Ger­man and Eu­ro­pean re­search agenda, pro­vid­ing im­por­tant ini­tia­tives for the de­vel­op­ment of el­e­men­tary in­no­va­tions for to­mor­row's world.  

From 2017 to 2021, the Fed­eral Min­istry of Ed­u­ca­tion and Re­search sup­ported the mod­ern­iza­tion of the re­search in­fra­struc­ture of all 13 par­tic­i­pat­ing in­sti­tutes with a fund­ing amount of 350 mil­lion euros.
