In accordance with Fraunhofer's requirements, a strong focus on industrial customers is very important to us. Our R&D activities and cooperation models are therefore strongly application-oriented and focus on the development of new products and applications. As a rule, we offer our services at fixed agreed conditions (result -price-performance time).

Our portfolio of services includes among others:

  • Evaluation of new technologies and their potential for your application
  • Conduct of studies
  • Contract development from concept to pilot production at fixed prices
  • Support in the application for funding measures
  • Characterization and measurement services.
  • Qualification and pilot production of ICs and chiplets.

In order to maintain our technological leadership in image sensor technology in the future, we also participate in national and international research projects with public funding. As a rule, potential users are already involved and the commercial exploitation of the R&D results is of central importance.
