Ongoing FMD projects at a glance

The MATQu project will validate technology options to produce SJJs on industrial 300 mm silicon-based process flows. The project addresses substrate technology, superconducting metals, resonator technology, through-wafer-via holes, 3D integration, and variability characterization.

This project deals with overarching issues in the areas of design, production, and analysis of the microelectronics value chain. For example, research is being conducted into trustworthy design methods, analysis procedures, and approaches for particularly trustworthy production processes for small series.

Although terahertz radiation is predestined for a wide range of applications, for example, in security technology, quality assurance, or material testing, its industrial introduction has so far failed due to the lack of availability of inexpensive, fast, and high-resolution systems with optimized, AI-based image recognition algorithms. This is where the "T-KOS" project, initiated by the FMD and funded by the BMBF with 10 million euros, comes in.
