Last year, we were once again able to reach a large number of interested parties with our free Online Expert Sessions. Two free lecture series looked at different areas of micro-electronics. In the spring, the »Low Power Systems« series offered an introduction to the complex world of particularly energy-efficient systems, such as those required for outdoor devices where the battery cannot be replaced regularly. Our experts recorded over 130 registrations in three compact sessions. In return for the great interest in this important field of research, our experts offered a thorough introduction to the topic and an outlook on Fraunhofer research in this area.

The »Materials for Electronic Innovations« series was launched in the fall, focusing on innovative base materials for semiconductor production and their environmentally friendly use. Research into new substrate materials for state-of-the-art packaging processes is one of Fraunhofer IZM‘s core competencies, which was reflected in the large number of registrations: More than 320 registered interested parties wanted to be convinced by the collective expertise of our researchers.
