The Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft is one of the world’s leading applied research organizations. 76 institutes develop cutting-edge technologies for our economy and society – more precisely: 32 000 people working in technology, science, administration and IT. They know: If you join Fraunhofer, then you are able to promote change. For themselves, for us and for the markets of today and tomorrow.

Welcome to the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS! As the largest institute within the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, Fraunhofer IIS has been conducting cutting-edge research in key technologies such as artificial intelligence, microelectronics, sensor systems, and signal processing for over 30 years. At our Dresden site, we develop adaptive systems that intelligently respond to their environment and evolving requirements—essential for the industry, mobility, and communication systems of tomorrow.

Intelligent IP has been in use for several years and is constantly being adapted to new requirements. You are welcome to support us in the context of an internship, a thesis or as a student assistant for the above topic, which includes:

• State-of-the-art analysis for layout parasitic estimation techniques
• Analysis and implementation of efficient and precise estimation algorithm for parasitic layout capacitances and resistances
• Investigation of design flow integration of estimated parasitic elements
• Design and Intelligent IP implementation of benchmark analog circuitry for CMOS technologies from 180nm down to 22nm
• Benchmarking against commercial and scientific layout parasitic extraction solutions
• Optional: evaluation of development in productive Analog/Mixed-Signal design project

In your application, please tell us your area of interest and the scope of your work. We can discuss further details individually.

Prerequisites are:

• enrollment in a degree program with corresponding previous knowledge
• you already have good knowledge with programming language Phyton and experience with Analog-IC Design software or layout
• an independent way of working, but also the ability to work together in a team
• fluent in either German or English (written and spoken) is advantageous but not mandatory

• a well-equipped workplace in our new institute building in Dresden
• support from your colleagues during the orientation phase
