Manufacturers of modern microchips are constantly facing new challenges, including in the electrical connections required for them. BASF and Fraunhofer IPMS have therefore been working together on this issue for ten years. By combining their infrastructure and expertise, they enable industry-oriented evaluation of chemicals, as well as process and product tests for chip integration. Together, they...
The radar target simulator "R&S RTS" for automotive radar and in particular its ability to electronically simulate very close-range objects, has been used to verify the performance of NXP Semiconductors’ next-generation radar sensor reference design. This collaboration enables the automotive industry to take another step forward in the development of automotive radar, the principal technology that...
Infineon Technologies announced its commitment to set a science-based target. By that the company expands its climate strategy even further. The semiconductor manufacturer is very well on track towards CO2-neutrality by 2030, relating to its direct and indirect energy related emissions in Scope 1 and 2. After having already reduced these emissions by almost 57 percent to date versus the base year...
