After the nine visitors were properly attired with cleanroom uniforms, they were taken on a tour of the cleanroom facilities and had a chance to watch the production of a wafer.  An LED substrate was ground and then analysed with a close-up look through a microscope. The girls also soldered a memory trainer and designed a circuit board substrate. Another highlight of the day has become a Girls’ Day tradition: As in the previous years, a mobile phone was broken up into its constituent parts, and its materials analysed in detail.

The Fraunhofer IZM also received very special praise for its efforts: Dilek Kolat, Berlin’s Senator of Employment, Integration, and Women thanked the Institute officially for its long-standing contributions to the Girls’ Day.

Eine besondere Ehre wurde dem Fraunhofer IZM im Nachgang zuteil:  Dilek Kolat, Berliner Senatorin für Arbeit, Integration und Frauen, bedankte sich beim Institut für das langjährige Engagement zum Girls’ Day.
