7 PROFILE OF THE INSTITUTE As an innovative R&D partner the Fraunhofer Institute for Surface Engineering and Thin Films IST offers complete solutions in surface engineering which are developed in cooperation with customers from industry and research. The IST s product is the surface, optimized by modification, patterning, and / or coating. Choosing the optimum solution of process and coating for a particular task is one of the major strengths of the Fraunhofer IST. Extensive experience with deposition and application of thin films is complemented by excellent capabilities in surface analysis using the very latest equipment and in simulating vacuum-based processes. Besides fundamental research activities in cooperation with universities and research centers, about 120 employees are developing tailored surfaces and processes together with service providers, equipment manufacturers, and coating users from diverse industries. For an efficient technology transfer the IST offers a broad range of services, from development of prototypes and economical product scenarios to upscaling and even implementation of the technology at the customer.
