Innovation Scaled
From research. To industrial production.
The development of new micro- and nanotechnologies does not end with a successful research project. The critical next step is transforming an innovative concept into a reproducible, scalable, and economically viable manufacturing process.
This is where IMS CHIPS bridges the gap between research and industry. Together withIMNP GmbH, we provide an integrated development and manufacturing pathway – from scientific innovation to quality-assured series production.
Bridging the gap. From innovation to industrial manufacturing.
From scientific discovery. To technological innovation.
New materials, advanced devices, and emerging technologies originate from fundamental and applied research conducted at universities in collaboration with IMS CHIPS.
At this stage, innovative concepts are developed, technical feasibility is demonstrated, and initial prototypes and demonstrators are realized. These early development phases are characterized by flexibility, scientific excellence, and a strong focus on innovation.
From qualified processes. To reliable products.
The transition from successful laboratory development to economically viable production is one of the most demanding stages of the technology value chain. This is where IMS CHIPS brings its core expertise.
We develop scalable manufacturing processes, optimize device designs, qualify technologies, and translate research results into stable, reproducible process flows.
A key outcome is a validated Process of Record (PoR) – the foundation for reliable industrial manufacturing.
Our goal is to minimize development risks, improve process maturity, and prepare your technology for successful transfer into series production.
Our capabilities
- Process development and qualification
- Prototype development and small-series manufacturing
- Technology and design optimization
- Characterization and reliability analysis
- Development of complete manufacturing process flows
- Establishment of a qualified Process of Record (PoR)
- ISO 9001-certified quality management
From qualified processes. To reliable products.
Sobald ein Prozess qualifiziert und freigegeben ist, kann die IMNP GmbH die industrielle Fertigung übernehmen. Produziert wird auf Basis eines festgelegten Process of Record, der nicht mehr verändert wird. Ergänzt durch Statistical Process Control (SPC) und ein nach ISO 9001 zertifiziertes Qualitätsmanagement entstehen reproduzierbare Prozesse mit höchster Prozesssicherheit und gleichbleibender Qualität. So wird aus einer Innovation ein zuverlässiges industrielles Produkt.
Your benefits
- Series production based on qualified manufacturing processes
- Statistical Process Control (SPC)
- ISO 9001-certified quality management
- High process stability and reliability
- Traceability and comprehensive documentation
- Consistent and reproducible manufacturing quality
From fragmented development. To an integrated manufacturing pathway.
Many technological innovations face their greatest challenges not during research, but during the transition to industrial production.
By combining the expertise of the University of Stuttgart, IMS CHIPS, and IMNP GmbH, we offer an integrated pathway across the entire innovation value chain – from initial research and technology development to quality-assured manufacturing.
Instead of coordinating multiple research institutions, development partners, and manufacturers, you benefit from closely connected expertise, streamlined communication, and a seamless transition into production.
Our integrated approach reduces development risks, accelerates technology transfer, and supports a faster path to market.
