The IRTG is a joint Ph.D. programme between the Faculty of Natural Sciences and the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology of Chemnitz University of Technology, Berlin Technical University, the Fraunhofer Institute for Reliability and Microintegration (IZM) and two Chinese universities, the Fudan University, Shanghai and the Shanghai - Jiao Tong University. It is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) of the Federal Republic of Germany and the Ministry of Education (MoE) of the People's Republic of China.
The subject of the IRTG treats ever increasing challenges related to progressive scaling of microelectronic device dimensions. Simultaneously, it addresses the demands for more functionality of deep submicron and nanoscaled interconnect systems for future integrated circuits, as new materials and innovative concepts for their fabrication and characterisation are required. The IRTG programme is both fundamental and application-oriented in the fields of physics, chemistry, materials science and microelectronics engineering, and include theoretical as well as experimental tasks.
