Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems
Fraunhofer IPMS Dresden researches, develops and manufactures innovative intelligent microsystems (MEMS / MOEMS). These are micromechanical optical systems that combine sensors, actuators, digital and analog circuit components.
The combination of electrical and non-electrical properties in these systems is a challenge for testing and characterization. In addition to the classic electrical test methods, non-electrical, primarily optical measurement and stimulation methods are used. The tests are carried out under class 10 clean room conditions. Planning, test program development and test execution are carried out in close coordination with our clients.
The integration of special devices such as laser vibrometers, spectrometers, interferometers or colour measurement cameras allows the combined electrical and mechanical/optical characterization of these microsystems. The electrical control is carried out with mixed-signal test systems, which enable convenient program creation, great flexibility and high test coverage.
Our test solutions are usually developed on a project basis as part of the product development process and are ready for series production at the customer's request.
To support SMEs, however, we also offer test development and testing as a separate service for small and medium quantities.
