Fraunhofer ISIT develops and manufactures components in microelectronics and microsystems technology.

These miniature components such as valves and deflection mirrors often measure just a fraction of a millimeter in size and are implemented in medicine, environmental and traffic engineering, communication systems, automotive industry, and mechanical engineering.

Working under contract, ISIT develops these types of components in accordance with customer requirements, also creating the application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) needed for the operation of sensors and actuators. Included in this service is the integration into the overall microsystem using miniaturised assembly and interconnection technology.

Together with Vishay Semiconductor Itzehoe GmbH, the institute operates a professional semiconductor production line which is up-to-date in all required quality certifications. The line is used not only for producing microelectronic components (PowerMOS) and microsystems, but also for R&D projects aimed at developing new components and technological processes.

An ISO-9001 certified quality management system serves as the basis for the development, qualification and production of micro-engineered components. Moreover, in view of current and future assembly and development activities for the automotive industry, a certification following TS 16949 is being prepared.
