Fraunhofer, GF team for new memory technologies
The Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems IPMS is expanding its long-standing collaboration with GlobalFoundries in Dresden to integrate next generation memory technologies.
The Centre Nanoelectronic Technologies (CNT) at Fraunhofer IPMS is researching new processes and concepts for memory modules in GlobalFoundries chip technologies. The two worked closely on 22nm FDX fully depleted silicon on insulator technology and are now looking at magnetic, ferroelectric and resistive embedded data storage.
An important goal is to develop scalable and energy-efficient memory process modules for the Internet of Things and automotive chip designs on 300mm wafers.
Applied, Fraunhofer IPMS set up European semiconductor metrology technology hub
The research projects are part of the Important Project of Common European Interest (IPCEI), which is funded proportionately by Saxony and the federal government and was launched in 2023.
“With these projects that have now been launched, we are working together to ensure that Dresden continues to occupy a leading position in global microelectronics,” said Wenke Weinreich, Head of CNT and Deputy Director of Fraunhofer IPMS.
“The teams at the Centre Nanoelectronic Technologies at Fraunhofer IPMS and GlobalFoundries are perfectly attuned to each other. We are therefore delighted to be continuing our proven collaboration in the field of research under the umbrella of IPCEI. The results will make a significant contribution to the further strengthening of the Central German semiconductor cluster,” said Dr. Manfred Horstmann, General Manager of GlobalFoundries Dresden.
IPMS also works with Infineon on integrated power technologies on 300mm wafers at the centre.
