Core topic
Modular and mobile test systems
Test capabilities are an integral part of all application developments. We research modular test systems that can be adapted flexibly and quickly to new challenges through optimised functional test units.
Service for R&D
Test and characterisation
We test, characterise and qualify your circuits, sensors and systems. Based on our excellent pool of measurement equipment, we develop an individually adapted test environment for measurements on wafers and individual components.
Service for R&D
MEMS – simulation, design and test
As a design house for the open technology platform XMB-10 from X-FAB, we develop acceleration sensors according to your specification in a semi-automated design process.
