Innovation cluster for microsystems technology and materials in Berlin Adlershof

Microsystems technology is an essential foundation for innovative products. The standard product supply chain involves semiconductor technology, MEMS (microelectro-mechanical systems), advance electronics packaging (including bonding technology), calibration and system integration. A great number of testing and measuring procedures are employed at each stage of the chain.

Numerous businesses operating in this field are located at Adlershof, including Astro- und Feinwerktechnik Adlershof, FMB Feinwerk- und Messtechnik, FUSS-EMV and the German Association for Non-destructive Testing (Deutsche Gesellschaft für zerstörungsfreie Prüfung, DGzfP). Research institutes such as the Helmholtz Centre for Materials and Energy (Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin für Materialien und Energie), the Leibniz Institute for Crystal Growth (Leibniz-Institut für Kristallzüchtung, IKZ), the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung, BAM), and the Ferdinand-Braun-Institute (FBH) are based here.
