The four major European research centers CEA, CSEM, VTT and Fraunhofer that form the Heterogeneous Technology Alliance have now launched a research, development and innovation for Smart Integrated Solutions.

In the sun-rich regions of the world, concentrator photovoltaics are used in large power plants to generate electrical energy from the sun. With this technology, almost twice the incident sunlight can be converted into electricity as compared to conventional silicon technology. Beginning in a research laboratory years ago, today’s technology contributes to the energy turnaround on an industrial scale.

Automated lane-keeping, brake assist systems and other highly complex microelectronic systems in vehicles are already reducing the number of serious traffic accidents. The increasing number and complexity of such safety systems makes tremendous demands on the hardware and software components from the different suppliers – and means that the development of the safety systems and their components need to be better aligned. That is the purpose of ...

Sven Bauer, the co-founder and present sole owner of Batterien-Montage-Zentrum GmbH, has been awarded the prestigious title of “Entrepreneur of the Year 2012” by the international auditing and accountancy group Ernst & Young.

Imec today announced that it has developed an innovative process for plated front contact formation of silicon solar cells using only one sequence to plate several metals. The large-area solar cells were processed in imec’s labs and combine an excellent reliability with a conversion efficiency of 20.3% (certified at Fraunhofer ISE-Callab).

The Nanotechnology Knowledge Transfer Network is pleased to announce the start of the NanoRegen Mission 2012, which is taking a delegation of six UK companies and academics specialised in developing materials for use in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine to Austria and Germany.

LASER World of PHOTONICS 2011, which will be staged at the New Munich Trade Fair Centre from May 23 to 26, 2011, will give the international photonics industry new impetus for the twentieth time. The world’s leading trade fair will feature an extensive programme of related events and numerous opportunities to exchange technical information and know-how. The highlights of the supporting programme will be the practical talks during the World of P...

EDA Solutions and the Fraunhofer Institute, one of the Europractice Support Centres, will co-host a program of training seminars on Europractice design kits for the latest version of Tanner Tools at DATE 2008. The practical training sessions, to be held on Wednesday 12 March 2008, will give a hands-on introduction to the design kits and Tanner Tools Pro. They are free of charge and open to all those with an interest in analog and mixed-signal ASI...

EDA Solutions announced a series of workshops in Germany, Belgium and the UK, on mixed-signal ASIC design, based on advanced ASIC design tools from Incentia and Tanner.

STMicroelectronics has announced the signing of an agreement with the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS to jointly develop a dedicated low-power ASIC for Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) applications such as fixed and portable radios, car receivers, software receivers, and Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs). Allowing listeners to set their radio using station names or IDs, the ASIC will offer excellent audio quality and integration of ...
