Electronics for energy-saving information and communication technology (ICT)
Fraunhofer IZM is part of the »Green ICT @ FMD« competence center and has been commissioned by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) together with the project partners and the Research Fab Microelectronics Germany (FMD) to determine the energy requirements and life cycle assessment of electronic products and information and communication technology infrastructures for Germany:
- Hub 1 - Sensor edge cloud systems
- Hub 2 - Energy-saving communication infrastructures
- Hub 3 - Resource-optimized electronics production
The aim is to show how resource and energy consumption in semiconductor production can be optimized through innovative and reliable assembly and connection technologies, from the selection of raw materials for the production of the semiconductor substrate to chip and PCB design, routing and board integration.
The Green ICT Competence Center at the Research Fab Microelectronics Germany (»Green ICT @ FMD«) is a central point of contact for sustainable electronics. The Federal Ministry of Education and Research is supporting the project as part of the Green ICT initiative, which is part of the German government's 2030 climate protection program.
