ABSTRACT

IHP is an R&D institute mainly financed by the German federal and the Brandenburg state governments.

The purpose of IHP’s R&D activities is to create innovative solutions for wireless and broadband

communication systems by close cooperative work of competent teams working in the fields of material

research, process technology, circuit design, and systems. Cooperation in all these fields with partners

from industry, universities, or other R&D institutes is also a common practice. The institute currently

operates a 1000m2 class-1 cleanroom, equipped with a tool set capable for 8-inch Si wafer processing

and sub-0.25mm feature size.
