Nanotechnology Center of Competence
The Nanotechnology Center of Competence “Ultrathin Functional Films” was founded in October 1998. The office is situated in the Fraunhofer Institute for Material and Beam Technology (Fraunhofer-Institut für Werkstoff- und Strahltechnik IWS) in Dresden.
The center of competence joins 51 enterprises, 10 university institutes, 22 research institutes, and 5 corporations into a common network. The members have special know how in the field of thin films and coatings. The work of the center of competence focuses on the fields of:
- Advanced CMOS
- New devices
- Biomolecular films for medical and technological purposes
- Nanoscaled protective layers
- Thin films for optics and photonics
- Nano-size actorics and sensorics; nano-systems.
Close co-operation of the members of the center of competence is one important aim which assures an efficient use of the available know-how and allows for synergetic effects.
We offer the following services:- Consulting services
- Research and development
- Testing of new processes
