Excellent research opportunities...

are offered by the equipment at the University Campus Vaihingen. The IHT operates a clean room directly in the new building of the electrotechnical institutes at the university campus Vaihingen. Two CMOS-compatible process lines were set up in this clean room and the grey rooms of the IHT. Together with the established analytical facilities, the IHT offers its students and staff the best conditions for successful Teaching and Research.
