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 1000 m2 class-1 cleanroom, equipped with a tool set capable for 8-inch Si wafer processing
and sub-0.25mm feature size.
