Good to know

Science need not always be complicated or even incomprehensible! Here we want to show you that it can be done in a completely different way: easy-peasy to understand and accessible for everyone.

We talk directly to the researchers, find out how and why microelectronics works and together with you we will find answers to the big and small questions at our research institute. Backstage at Fraunhofer IZM, so to speak.

On this page you will find insights into current projects, tips from practicing researchers and everyday things from our institute - all with a little technical tic. In addition, the small µ has come to join us - as a symbol for exactly the topics that concern us at Fraunhofer IZM, it explains a term from microelectronics every month.

Do you have any questions about Fraunhofer IZM or would you like to know what is behind other technical terms? Then send us your questions by e-mail and we’ll try and find the answers for you!

What do you need to start a career with us and what potential for development is there? In this µ knows best special, we are discussing this question with our institute director, who has himself had a career at Fraunhofer. Spoiler alert: He considers curiosity and application-oriented thinking as the key to a job in our labs. Do you also want to become part of the Fraunhofer IZM research family? Then look at what jobs are open right now: Your Career at Fraunhofer IZM

What is Heterogeneity?

As with software, hardware can also be called heterogeneous if different packaging techniques are used in a single system. How each element operates is strongly influenced by the other elements. Microsystems are one example of this, which combine sensors, the means for data processing, power supplies and wireless communication in a single component.
