In a joint development project spanning around one year, important progress was made in the production of "Smart power technologies". Fraunhofer IPMS provided significant support to the semiconductor manufacturer Infineon by supplying selected process modules within the entire CMOS process value chain on 300 mm wafers.

The collaboration played a key role in the process development for the factory expansion at Infineon Dresden. Over 2000 wafers were successfully processed as part of this collaboration. The wafers were exchanged several times between Fraunhofer IPMS and Infineon Dresden to ensure optimal use of resources and optimum integration into the production lines.

"The results of this joint project are extremely promising and mark a significant step forward for the production of smart power technologies at Infineon Dresden," commented project manager Andreas Thamm from Infineon. "The close collaboration and the provision of process modules by Fraunhofer IPMS have enabled us to move ahead faster than planned with the process transfer to 300mm equipment needed to expand our manufacturing capabilities."

The successful implementation of this project underlines the technological expertise and effective collaboration between Fraunhofer IPMS and its cooperation partners. The fact that several joint projects have already been completed with semiconductor expert Infineon proved to be valuable: "We have been working together for years," confirms IPMS project manager Dr. Malte Czernohorsky "In this project, Fraunhofer experts worked closely with colleagues from Infineon. The teams are now well attuned to each other. Our cooperation was always focused on achieving results, and our colleagues at Infineon were very accommodating towards our ideas, which commends Czernohorsky. "Based on the positive experiences from previous years, we are already thinking about follow-up projects."
