Our future topics

The future topics to which the Fraunhofer FEP is committed and which will determine the direction of the institute's work in the coming years are technologically groundbreaking and should make a significant contribution to overcoming global challenges. Energy-efficient and sustainable solutions, innovative life science applications and the digitalization of industrial processes are essential for sustainable development and the well-being of society. Through its research work, the Fraunhofer FEP makes a decisive contribution to the innovative strength and competitiveness of the German and European economy.

Digitalization

Digital technologies optimize process control and quality assurance and thus enable more efficient, adaptable and resource-saving coating processes for a wide range of industries.

Sputter epitaxy

Sputter epitaxy enables the precise deposition of high-purity crystalline layers and opens up innovative applications in microelectronics, optics and sensor technology.

Plasma chemistry

In future, we would like to use the generation and application of plasma for the synthesis and modification of materials and associated chemical reactions in ionized gas to develop new properties and functions.
