Technology and Infrastructure

The Technology and Infrastructure department provides the technological backbone for the development and fabrication of photonic components and Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs). It spans the entire value chain – from epitaxy and wafer processing to backend technologies and advanced packaging – offering a comprehensive and integrated technology platform.

The department develops and operates state-of-the-art semiconductor technologies for high-speed data transmission, detection, and sensing applications. Within ISO-certified cleanroom and production environments, it supports research and development projects as well as pilot and small-volume manufacturing for industrial partners. 

As an active partner within the Research Fab Microelectronics Germany (FMD), the department is embedded in a national technology network that combines extended process platforms, scalable manufacturing infrastructures, and a broad micro- and nanoelectronics portfolio. This close integration of material development, process engineering, and assembly and packaging technologies enables the efficient transfer of photonic devices from design to application – ranging from telecom and sensor systems to terahertz technologies.
