As a key technology of digitalization and the core of every digital system, microelectronics must meet countless requirements. The reliable use of electronic components not only ensures the security of our data and the possibility of unrestricted communication but can also make the difference between life and death in the form of components for self-driving cars.

Design, production and analysis

The Velektronik project aims to create a platform for trustworthy electronics. It will address overarching issues in the three pillars of the microelectronics value chain: design, production, and analysis. For example, trustworthy design methods, analysis processes, and approaches for particularly trustworthy manufacturing processes for small series are being researched.

Solutions for greater trustworthiness

The envisaged platform will focus on the technological overview, contributions to the necessary standardization, the network of research and industry, and the final know-how in order to provide concrete answers with solution concepts to the increasing demand for higher trustworthiness in electronics. The cooperation partners from the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft and the Leibniz Association in the Research Fab Microelectronics Germany are working on this together with the edacentrum.

Participating Fraunhofer Institutes:

AISEC, EMFT, ENAS, IAF, IIS, IMS, IMWS, IPMS, IZM, IHP, FBH
