Fraunhofer Institute for Organic Electronics, Electron Beam and Plasma Technology

The Fraunhofer Institute for Organic Electronics, Electron Beam and Plasma Technology is a research facility in Dresden focused on developing organic semiconductors, vacuum coating methods, and surface treatment technologies. The institute's laboratories and experimental facilities work on practical applications of these technologies across different industries.

The institute was founded in 1991 as part of the Fraunhofer Society and helped strengthen German research capabilities following reunification. Since then it has grown into a leading center for research in organic electronics and plasma technology.

Engineers and scientists from multiple disciplines collaborate at the institute to develop innovations in organic electronics and plasma technology for industrial applications.

Visitors can explore the facility by arrangement, with tours available through the laboratories and experimental areas. It is advisable to contact the institute in advance to arrange a visit and learn more about ongoing research projects.

The institute has specialized in developing electronic components that dissolve in body tissue after use, opening new possibilities in medical technology. This work on dissolvable electronics represents a particularly innovative research focus.
