Introducing our chair
The Chair of Microsystems represents the discipline of microsystem technologies as a whole in research and teaching. Aside of silicon-based microsystems we have a particular focus on polymeric microsystems.

Profile of our chair
Microsystems take in a key position in modern concepts of information and communication technologies. Industry 4.0, the Internet of Things, virtual reality, smartphones or modern medical engineering – to name just a few – would not be possible without microsystem techologies. Exactly those kind of microsystems are the focus of our research. Within our research and teaching profiles we represent all important fields of microsystem technologies including our main areas: design, modeling and simulation, smart materials, production technologies, system conception and measurments. Our research is distinctively interdisciplinary, with the result that our team consits of chemists, physicists, biologists, material scientists and of course engineers.
Aside of silicon-based microsystems we deal with polymeric microsystems in particular. In 2010 our chair was one of the first in the world established espacially for research and teaching in the field of the forward-looking technologies of polymeric microsystems.
The laboratories FAM and Werner-Hartmann-Bau, that were opened in 2013, offer us an outstanding research infrastructure. We are equipped with modern clean and grey room laboratories for characterization, production and applicational research of our microsystems as well as for synthesis of active materials. Furthermore there are application-specific laboratories such as the biology lab.
