Packaging ist that part of technology which merges functional components into systems and ensures the operation of these systems for all environmental conditions allowed. It comprises the geometric arrangement of the components within the system, energy supply, signal distribution, heat dissipation and the implementation of protective functions. Because of this, packaging simply enables physical, chemical and biological devices to become real technical systems. Both the steadily growing integration densities of microelectronic devices and the ongoing development of micro/nanosystem technology and biotechnology increase the demands for packaging regarding miniaturisation, integration of additional non-electric signals and flow of matter, and implementation of selective protection measures. The rise of NEMS (nanoelectromechanical systems) is expected to become a key element for merging of nanotechnology, biology, information technology and cogno science (NBIC) enabling an as yet unimagined technical development.
The Research Training Group will contribute to this process by developing and investigating new and innovative packaging solutions which apply methods from nano- and biotechnology. The work is focussed on materials and technologies not yet used for packaging. This approach enables new packaging solutions which are totally different from the ones used up to now.
Such solutions are becoming possible through the cooperation of the disciplines of engineering and the sciences. The Technische Universität Dresden, with its emphasis on engineering and sciences and its determined fostering of material science and molecular bioengineering, offers an excellent environment for the Research Training Group's work. The close connection between electrical engineering and information technology, material science, physics, chemistry and biology secures the interdisciplinary work needed for the Research Training Group's scientific field.
