IMS Newsletter 1/22

The topics of the current issue are:

Nano-HySiF – Nano contacts for flexible electronics
Nano contacts are used to apply ultra-thin chips to flexible films like Velcro. In cooperation with our partner NanoWired, the technology is being researched and tested for applications in flexible electronic systems for medical technology.

PanaMEA – ASIC for a Miniature Pancreatic Implant
In the BMBF-funded PanaMEA project, an ASIC for a miniature pancreatic implant is developed at IMS CHIPS. A unique feature of the design is an integrated solution for FOPP (Fraction of Plateau Phase) detection of the beta-cell activity. Smart approach is adopted to keep the design overhead to a minimum, resulting in a low-power system with highly reduced data volume, which can be applied to more advanced beta-cell activity monitoring.

IMS CHIPS as alliance partner for the production of next generation integrated circuits
In order to meet the growing demand for more computing power, especially in networked devices, the technologies to manufacture high-performance chips in the 2-nm process must be developed today. The prerequisites for mass production should be in place by 2025. IMS CHIPS supports the work to establish the 2-nm node within the ECSEL project ID2PPAC.

PhotonQ – Measurement-based and scalable quantum processor
In the PhotonQ project, funded by the BMBF, a measurement-based and scalable processor for a photonic quantum computer will be developed with our university partners. At the heart of the quantum processor is an integrated photonic chip, which is being researched and developed at the IMS. For this purpose, new types of phase shifters, integrated optical circuits and optical interconnect technology will be investigated.
