Perpetual chemicals, PFAS for short, can be found in raincoats, pans and every chip. Researchers at Fraunhofer ENAS in Chemnitz are working with European partners to ban these toxic substances from chip production. Their new process could make the semiconductor industry cleaner, more energy-efficient and healthier.
Tiny chips are to make therapies safer and save lives. The Dresden research project SEMECO is receiving a further 15 million euros from the federal government. Together with industrial partners, TU Dresden is developing medical semiconductors for networked infusion systems, portable ultrasound devices and smart implants. The modular approach is intended to bring medical products to market more quickly.
