The Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Solid State Physics IAF is one of the leading research institutions in the fields of III-V semiconductors and synthetic diamond. Based on these materials, Fraunhofer IAF develops devices for future-oriented technologies, such as electronic circuits for innovative communication and mobility solutions, laser systems for spectroscopic real-time sensing, novel hardware components for quantum computers and quantum sensors for industrial applications.
Epitaxy and technology equipment as well as measurement technologies are available in a 1000 m² clean room, a 450 m² MOCVD hall and another 4000 m² of laboratory space. With its research and development work, the Freiburg research institute covers the entire value chain—from materials research, design and processing to the realization of modules, systems and demonstrators.
