Signal processing on the edge – µController-based radar back-end structure 

Fraunhofer FHR – The FHR has developed a new back-end structure for its radar sensors, which can be switched off, extended, and reconfigured at runtime by their master/slave configuration. In addition, signal processing by interpolation has been adapted so that it can be performed directly "on the edge" on the µController.

Increasing the sustainability of semiconductor manufacturing processes

Fraunhofer EMFT – Around 80 % of the CO2 footprint of average electronic components is already caused during production. A research team at the Fraunhofer EMFT is working on optimizing processes in semiconductor production in order to minimize the use of climate-damaging process gases. In the process, the scientists are also testing more climate-friendly alternatives to etching gases that have been used as standard to date.
