New DFG Research Group „3D-HF-MID“ started
“3D-HF-MID” – The DFG research group with Prof. Dr.-Ing. Jörg Franke from the Chair of FAPS as spokesperson starts on April 1, 2025 and researches the spatial design of high-frequency systems using integrated electronic 3D assemblies – so-called Mechatronic Integrated Devices (MID). An interdisciplinary team from FAU (Chairs of Manufacturing Automation and Production Systems – FAPS, High Frequency Technology – LHFT and Institute Materials for Electronics and Energy Technology – i-MEET) and the Helmholtz Institute Erlangen-Nuremberg will rethink and investigate the entire process chain, including material synthesis, geometric design and manufacturing processes, both simulatively and physically. This includes a novel design and manufacturing methodology that incorporates three-dimensional substrates, superior surface quality, greater material selection and economical manufacturing processes. The aim is to create groundbreaking foundations that will significantly expand the technological boundaries for spatial high-frequency assemblies.
The research group is being funded for four years with around 3.2 million euros.
