The Fraunhofer Research Institution for Electronic Nano Systems ENAS in research and development in the fields of smart systems integration with partners in Germany, Europe and world wide.

The micro and nano system technologies as well as electronics are playing a key role in today‘s product development and industrial progress. They enable the integration of mechanical, electrical, optical, chemical, biological and other functions into a very small space with dimensions ranging from sub micrometers up to some millimeters. power supply and communication ability these systems are multi device integrated and should be developed for use inside the host. Systems integration will determine the economic suc- cess of manufacturers and users coming from consumer electronics, telecommunication, me- chanical engineering, medical technology, and automotive in a high degree. To keep long term competitiveness a sophisticated technological potential is necessary. The Fraunhofer ENAS positions itself to these challenges and takes part very actively in the further development of Smart Systems Integration and the needful gap bridging from NANO NANO to MICRO and to the MACRO world.

The main research activities of the Fraunhofer ENAS can be divided in the following topics:

• Advanced System Engineering
  
• Back-end of Line (BEOL)
  
• Development of Advanced Technologies
  
• Multi Device Integration
  
• Printed Functionalities
