Institute of Semiconductor
Engineering

Welcome to the Institute of Semiconductor Engineering

The Institute of Semiconductor Engineering (IHT)...

is engaged in teaching and research based on the group IV-based semiconductor technology with the transition from today's micro- or nanoelectronics to future quantum electronics.

For this purpose, excellent research opportunities are available at the location on the University Campus Vaihingen, with which we as the team and our partners are actively researching the technology of tomorrow.
