EU-Forschungspro­jekt: eRamp

April 2014 - März 2017

TUD Researchers participate at 56 Mio EUR Infineon-Led Project "eRamp"
Three research teams of TUD have recently been awarded grants at the EU-wide eRamp initiative which aims at strengthening Germany and Europe as established centers of expertise for power electronics manufacturing. The teams are

• Prof. Dr. Cornelia Breitkopf, Department of Mechanical Engineering: The project focuses on high-quality FEM-simulations of wafer test procedures in semiconductor industry which highly depend on the composition of the test components. The variation of the material composition and its influence on the stability of the test process is the main challenge of this project.

• Dr. Gerald Weigert, Department of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology: This project will connect modern methods of quality and yield modeling in semiconductor manufacturing and scheduling methods. In addition to simulation-based methods are mainly mathematical methods such as Constraint Programming and Mixed Integer Programming used.
• Prof. Dr. Zoltán Sasvári and Prof. Dr. René Schilling, Department of Mathematics: The main contribution of this project will be state-of-the-art stochastic modeling for quality control procedures of chip-wafer production. One of the challenges is how to deal effectively with the huge data-sets.
