Fraunhofer EMFT stands for applied research into sensors and actuators for people and the environment. The following competences form the basis of the research work at Fraunhofer EMFT: Functional Molecules, Silicon Technologies, Devices and 3D Integration, Foil Technologies, Micropumps and Design, Test & System Integration. Each of these competences in its own right allows new kinds of sensors and actuators to be created. But the real strength of Fraunhofer EMFT lies in the interaction between these areas: after all, innovations often emerge where technologies reach their limits and begin to cross-fertilize. In defining its research fields, Fraunhofer EMFT always attaches priority to practical application. The institution gets together with customers to assess areas which are important for the market and where Fraunhofer EMFT can make a significant contribution with its expertise. Due to the long history of Fraunhofer EMFT its staff possesess a broad background and long-term experience, allowing the employees for an excellent knowledge of the world of microelectronics and microsystem technology. Their high level of motivation and the satisfaction they derive from their work result in exceptional commitment and dedication, ultimately producing good results.
