New leadership in the microelectronics institute: Prof. Ganesh enriches Fraunhofer IZM

Kaiserslautern. The importance of microelectronics for industry and society is increasing steadily, and with the appointment of Prof. Ulrike Ganesh as the head of the Fraunhofer Institute for Reliability and Mikrintegration IZM in Berlin is now being taken into account. Prof. Ganesh, who will take over the management of the institute together with Prof. Martin Schneider-Ramelow from August 2024, brings extensive expertise from research and industry, which the institute can significantly strengthen on the way to innovation.

growth of microchip demand and its effects

The European Commission has shown in a survey that global demand for microchips is expected to double by 2030. This development has far -reaching consequences for industry in Germany. In order to meet the challenges of the market, new technologies and solutions are required that enable the integration of the smallest electronics effectively and reliably.

strengthening Germany in the field of microelectronics

The microelectronic innovations of the Fraunhofer IZM range from smartphone technologies to industrial automation systems. Prof. Holger Hanselka, President of the Fraunhofer Society, emphasizes that the adaptation of system integration technologies is crucial for Germany's competitiveness in this key industry. With the support of Prof. Ganesh, new ways can be followed to further develop these technologies and to consolidate the location with their leadership.

expertise by Prof. Ganesh in focus

Prof. Ganesh brings a remarkable professional career, started at IBM in New York and later at Qualcomm in San Diego, where she worked in error analysis. Your experience in the management of projects in chip development at Robert Bosch and her leadership role in the Federal Agency for Materials Research and Testing are considered enormously valuable for the research activities at Fraunhofer IZM.

collaboration for innovative solutions

In her new role, Prof. Ganesh plans to work closely with Prof. Schneider-Ramelow, who specializes in high performance packaging. This close cooperation is intended to bundle the existing skills and create synergies in order to be able to efficiently tackle challenges in microelectronics such as chiplet designs, quantum computing and future communication standards such as 6G. "I look forward to developing innovative solutions for the great challenges of microelectronics together with the entire team," says Prof. Ganesh.

expectations of future development

With the compilation of this double tip, the Fraunhofer IZM will enter a new era of microelectronic research. Prof. Schneider-Ramelow emphasizes that the unbroken growth and increasing demands on the performance of microelectronic systems will create a dynamic work environment. The team is optimistic that the synergetic cooperation can successfully master the challenges of the future.
