Fraunhofer Institute for Ceramic Technologies and Systems IKTS
Oxide ceramic components manufactured by low-pressure injection molding.
Plane parallel hard machining (lapping) of high-purity Al2O3-membranes for pressure sensors.
In addition to the development and optimization of oxide ceramic materials, Fraunhofer IKTS has outstanding expertise in the field of sample and small series production. This includes sensor components as well as complex shaped oxide ceramic components for use in microelectronics and textile technology. In order to meet the specific requirements of these industries, IKTS can rely on closed process chains under low-contamination conditions.
