FRAUNHOFER RESEARCH INSTITUTION FOR ORGANICS, MATERIALS AND ELECTRONIC DEVICES COMEDD Fraunhofer COMEDD combines research and development activities for the technology, integration and production of organic electronic devices. The mission of Fraunhofer COMEDD is research geared specifically toward customer applications, the development and pilot production of unique device concepts, as well as production methods for vacuum deposited organic materials. The goal of the center is, specifically, the creation of a production-oriented and pan-european leading research and development center for organic semiconductors, focusing on organic light-emitting diodes and vacuum technology. These activities are supported by the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, the Free-State of Saxony, the Federal Government of Germany, as well as by the EU, with additional investments of 25 million Euros for its infrastructure. SERVICES AT A GLANCE Consulting services Market studies Trainings Feasibility tests Simulations Device and system development Material tests Complete process development Prototypes and demonstrators Characterization & Test Pilot-Fabrication The Fraunhofer COMEDD clean room facilities consist of the following equipment: a pilot line for the fabrication of OLEDs on 370 x 470 mm² substrates, two pilot lines for 200 mm wafer for the OLED integration on CMOS substrates as well as a research line for the roll-to-roll fabrication on flexible substrates. Fraunhofer COMEDD offers a wide range of research, development and pilot production possibilities, especially for OLED lighting, organic solar cells and OLED microdisplays. 2
