Group Manager Memory Technologies

The Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft (www.fraunhofer.com) currently operates 76 institutes and research units throughout Germany and is a leading applied research organization. Around 32 000 employees work with an annual research budget of 3.4 billion euros.

Developing innovative technology solutions and bringing them to application - that is our goal at the Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems IPMS. With our expertise in the development of photonic microsystems, related technologies including nanoelectronics and wireless communication solutions, we create - in flexible and interdisciplinary teams - technologies for innovative products in a wide range of markets such as automotive, industrial and aerospace.

The Center Nanoelectronic Technologies (CNT) conducts research on 300 mm wafers for microchip producers, suppliers, equipment manufacturers and R&D partners in clean room and laboratory areas at the "An der Bartlake" site. The CNT offers process and technology developments as well as services at Ultra Large Scale Integration (ULSI) level in the FEoL and BEoL area of various CMOS technology nodes.

The focus of this group includes the advancement of novel non-volatile memory devices, encompassing bit cell, memory architecture - computation-in-memory, and application-oriented design as well as electrical characterization in close interaction with other teams. We collaborate closely with esteemed research institutes and industry partners to drive innovation. Our primary research emphasis lies in developing non-volatile memory technologies based on ferroelectric hafnium oxide, extending beyond traditional storage to cutting-edge AI applications. We also investigate further use-cases, such as thin-film device integration.
