Heat-resistant capacitors: Stability at up to 300 degrees

Heat is one of the worst enemies of electronics. It can disrupt functionality and cause electronic components to age more quickly, or even destroy them. Now Fraunhofer researchers have developed a capacitor that can withstand temperatures of up to 300 degrees Celsius.

Heat-resistant capacitors: Stability at up to 300 degrees

Heat is one of the worst enemies of electronics. It can disrupt functionality and cause electronic components to age more quickly, or even destroy them. Now Fraunhofer researchers have developed a capacitor that can withstand temperatures of up to 300 degrees Celsius. They did so by using an innovative mix of materials – and a special 3D trick.

Intelligent cell-implants get into immediate contact with the nervous system

Intelligent, long-term stable cellular implants that have immediate contact with the nervous system: Working on this innovation is the Fraunhofer-Institute for Microelectronic Circuits and Systems IMS in Duisburg together with the Max-Planck-Institute for medical research and the Institute for neurobiology of the university Heidelberg. Application of this new procedure should be found in medicine. In the long term, the therapy of nerve injuries or the simulation of nerves for example within implants is considered.

Chip scale packages: The small packaging expert of Fraunhofer IMS

A strong case surrounds the fragile core: The new chip scale package (CPS) of Fraunhofer Institute for microelectronic circuits and systems IMS in Duisburg protects the sensitive sensors. The midget out of silicon has many talents: he is barely bigger than the chip itself, cost-effective and is producible in large quantities.
