IMS CHIPS was founded in 1983 with a clear vision: to make microelectronics research, development, and manufacturing accessible to industry and users. Despite political and financial challenges, the institute was established as a foundation under public law within just a few months. <\/p>

What began as a response to a technological gap continues to define us today: industry-oriented research, successful technology transfer, and innovations that move beyond the laboratory into real-world applications.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Our history begins not simply with a date, but with a decision made under considerable time pressure.In 1982\/83, North Rhine-Westphalia and the Fraunhofer Society were looking for a director for a planned microelectronics institute in Duisburg. They offered the position to Stuttgart-based Professor Ernst L\u00fcder.
Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg wanted to retain L\u00fcder in Stuttgart, and Minister-President Lothar Sp\u00e4th intervened personally.Against this backdrop, the University of Stuttgart and SEL (Standard Elektrik Lorenz) proposed establishing a “Society for Microelectronics” in February 1983. Their objective was clear: to create accessible development and manufacturing capabilities for microelectronic circuits, including for industrial users. <\/p>

The initiative faced considerable opposition. Fraunhofer and the German Federal Ministry for Research and Technology (BMFT) opposed the establishment of a second, similar institution and saw no need for it. Federal funding for the Stuttgart initiative was therefore not expected.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Despite these obstacles, the institute was founded in Stuttgart in July 1983 as a foundation under public law \u2013 less than six months after the initial proposal.<\/p>

The starting point was a clear gap in the technological landscape: there was no generally accessible institution supporting small-series production and the further development of innovative circuits.<\/p>

This continues to shape our identity today: industry-oriented, committed to technology transfer, and open to collaboration \u2013 developing technologies that move beyond the laboratory and into practical applications.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
