🌿  𝗔𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗺𝗶𝘁 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁: 𝗚𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗮𝗺 𝗳ü𝗿 𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝘂𝗯𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗱𝘁! Am 19.05.2026 haben 17 Kolleginnen und Kollegen ihre Freizeit genutzt, um den AfterWork-Gedanken einmal anders zu leben – mit Fokus auf Nachhaltigkeit & Stadtsauberkeit. Gemeinsam ging es in die Flutrinne, wo in drei Teams tatkräftig Müll gesammelt wurde. Neben jeder Menge „klassischer Funde“ waren diesmal vor allem die größeren Stücke gefragt – denn die entschieden über den Team-Erfolg. 🏆 Vom verrosteten Fahrrad bis zum stark lädierten Einkaufswagen war alles dabei – und am Ende wurde es noch einmal spannend, welches Team die Krone für sich entscheiden konnte. Ein herzliches Dankeschön an alle Beteiligten für das Engagement, die gute Stimmung und den gelungenen Teamspirit. Das Format zeigt: AfterWork kann auch sinnvoll, aktiv und richtig unterhaltsam sein – eine Wiederholung ist definitiv erwünscht. ♻️ #AfterWork #Nachhaltigkeit #Teamwork #CleanUp #Sustainability #Engagement #Flutrinne #GemeinsamStark

🏛️ Last week, Federal Minister for Research, Technology, and Space Dorothee Bär visited the Brandenburgische Technische Universität Cottbus-Senftenberg, accompanied by Brandenburg’s Minister-President Dr. Dietmar Woidke and Brandenburg’s Minister for Science, Research, and Culture Dr. Manja Schüle. Harald Schenk had the opportunity to give a live demonstration of the medical radar developed in our iCampus Cottbus project. He also explained the principle behind a micro speaker and presented audio samples from two generations of speakers. Thank you for the visit and the opportunity to show the innovative  region that Cottbus is! with: Bundesministerium für Forschung, Technologie und Raumfahrt, Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil.

By arranging chiplets on active or passive wafer substrates with a shared interconnect stack, QMI enables significantly higher interconnect densities than conventional packaging approaches. 🔬 The result: clear technological advantages for future semiconductor systems: ⚙️ 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲: Shorter signal paths reduce latency and losses, increasing overall processing speed. ⚙️ 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆: Fewer mechanical interfaces lead to more robust systems and longer operational lifetimes. ⚙️ 𝗠𝗮𝘅𝗶𝗺𝘂𝗺 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀: Nearly monolithic integration enables highly space-efficient system architectures. ⚙️ 𝗖𝗼𝘀𝘁-𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆: Modular chiplet approaches support faster innovation cycles and economical integration strategies. These advantages make QMI a key technology for future applications such as AI-focused system-on-chip (SoC) solutions and high-bandwidth smart transceivers. 🌍 👉 Read the full press release: https://lnkd.in/duaDiBYi The APECS consortium brings together the technological competences, infrastructure, and know-how of ten partners from eight European countries: Germany (Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft as coordinator, Ferdinand-Braun-Institut, Leibniz-Institut für Höchstfrequenztechnik, IHP Solutions GmbH), France (CEA-Leti), Belgium (imec), Finland (VTT), Austria (Technische Universität Graz), Greece (Foundation for Research and Technology - Hellas (FORTH), Spain (Institute of Microelectronics of Barcelona (IMB-CNM, CSIC)) and Portugal (INL - International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory). with: FMD - Forschungsfabrik Mikroelektronik Deutschland #Semiconductors #Chiplets #AdvancedPackaging #QMI #HeterogeneousIntegration #AIHardware #Microelectronics #FraunhoferIPMS #APECS #SystemIntegration

#event 𝗙𝗜𝗥𝗦𝗧 : 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲’𝘀 𝗦𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 🧩 Europe has strong strategies in microelectronics, but the real challenge is getting them into industrial use. As Fraunhofer IPMS Director Harald Schenk and member of the FIRST Program Committee points out, this requires a more coordinated approach across the semiconductor value chain. In practice, decisions on investment, partnerships, and technologies such as advanced packaging and chiplets are increasingly interdependent. They often stall when it comes to scaling into production. FIRST by FMD - Forschungsfabrik Mikroelektronik Deutschland addresses this directly. FIRST is the European conference for decision-makers from industry, research, and policy working along the international semiconductor value chain. 📍 The conference will take place at the EUREF-Campus Berlin on September 30 and October 1. 👉 Further details and registration: https://lnkd.in/eSBJhGBK #FIRSTbyFMD #Semiconductors #Microelectronics #Chiplets #AdvancedPackaging #EuropeanInnovation
