Last Friday, the Fraunhofer IZM center “All Silicon System Integration Dresden” (ASSID) participated for the first time in Dresden’s Long Night of the Sciences and met with an overwhelmingly positive response.

From 6 pm onwards, visitors to the event streamed into the center’s Moritzburg headquarters for an inspiring behind-the-scenes look at the world of 3D microintegration.

The talks and also the microscope station were well received and provided the guests with cutting-edge information and excellent opportunity for discussion.

A clear highlight for both young and old was the extremely informative presentation of the smallest-ever microcamera.

Particularly in demand were the clean room tours, which gave the participants a rare close-up of the technology area.

Despite the patchy weather, Fraunhofer IZM-ASSID was able to welcome about 140 enthusiastic night owls through its doors - a great success all-round.
