Microelectronics
With the growing application of Integration Technology in almost all areas of life, Microelectronics has emerged as the key technology of the modern information technology society. The systematic development and requirement meeting implementation of innovative microelectronic systems is the central research aim of System and Circuit Technology. Against this background we develop microelectronic components and systems with both digital and analog circuitry. Our research and technology transfer activities concentrate mainly on Cognitronics and Mediatronics.

Cognitronics
Cognitronics deals with the development of circuits for the resource efficient realisation of cognitive systems. It is the aim of research activities to equip technical products with cognitive abilities, so that besides increased functionality these become safer and more user-friendly. More...
Mediatronics
Mediatronics is a new interdisciplinary research area at the Heinz Nixdorf Institute, which is concerened with the situative integration of technical products and services in open systems. In the future these systems will distinguish themselves to an even higher degree by a decentralised organisation of dynamically networked, intelligent components. More...
