IMS CHIPS researches and develops solutions and new approaches for electronic and photonic microsystem applications in the field of biomedical engineering. As part of the SpektroChip project funded by the Vector Foundation, a new type of micro-spectrometer system is being developed for analytical and biomedical applications.
To qualifiy waveguides and components in integrated photonics, the throughput of hundreds to thousands of circuits often has to be measured. The automated tester
at IMS CHIPS now records 800 to 1000 such throughput spectra per hour with a reproducibility of ±0.25 dB. For this purpose, a fiber optic array is precisely positioned above each grating coupler with a precision of a few hundred nanometers.
The Stuttgart-based start-up Q.ANT
and Institut für Mikroelektronik Stuttgart
have signed an agreement for the joint
production of quantum chips. Quantum
chips are considered to be the central
building blocks for quantum processors,
which in the future will provide a
speed advantage in the future. Additional
fields of application range from medical
technology, sensor technology, telecommunications,
cryptography, logistics and
the financial sector.
IMS CHIPS offers low-threshold access to your own microchip. Both for research and development and for use in products.
A company´s individual ASIC offers several advantages compared to microchips freely available on the market: one is much more independent from the general
supply situation and products with ASICs are excellently protected against unwanted replicas.
