cfaed: Center for Advancing Electronics Dresden

The Center for Advancing Electronics Dresden (cfaed)
promotes innovation in electronics by conducting multi-
perspective and holistic research on materials, devices,
circuits and systems, systematically analyzing overarching
principles of heterogeneous, nonlinear and networked
entities, and thus exploring novel functional paradigms.

As a scientific electronics center with an international
reputation, we provide platforms for nanofabrication
technology, knowledge management, as well as nano-
analysis and systems analytics for TU Dresden and
DRESDEN-concept members. We are a central hub of
interdisciplinary and cross-scale research.

We provide knowledge creators with an interdisciplinary
education by conveying systemic, multi-lateral thinking
and fundamentally new approaches by integrating
diverse perspectives.

unique science center for electronics in Europe, in
order to transform material innovations into sustain-
able electronics applications and thus secure and CONTACT
develop Germany's innovation capacities in micro-
electronics and nanoelectronics. For example, with its cfaed – Center for Advancing
