Eric Schäfer and his team research Integrated sensor systems, especially CMOS-based biosensors, ULP sensor systems and AI-based design and test automation. The results are being incorporated into research on the lead applications Sensor systems for in-vitro diagnostics and RFID sensor technology. It will assist you with services for the development of Integrated circuits and with IC design methods.
Microelectronics department
Our microelectronics team is internationally positioned and consists of specialists for:
- Analog IC Design
- Digital IC Design
- Mixed-Signal Verification
- IC Layout
- Design Methodology
- EDA Support
- Business Development
Most of our scientific staff have academic degrees in electrical engineering and information technology, microelectronics and engineering informatics, or in disciplines such as biomedical engineering or solid-state physics.
Every year, we launch about ten ASICs for research and industrial customers and supervise about 15 students at our two locations in Erfurt and Ilmenau.
We support you with research and development in the following areas

“Particularly in the evaluation of measurement data, IMMS has impressively demonstrated that a learning algorithm is on a par with manual evaluation – while saving a great deal of time. We are also continuing to pursue methods for circuit and layout analysis, as we see great research and application potential here as well.”
