In the IHM at the TU Dresden several departments are integrated, which work in professional and organizational fields in a close relation. Besides a shared use of resources and the multidisciplinary, work is especially affected by the thought of synergy. The scientific and technological abilities and knowledge of the IHM staff range from electrical engineering to physics and from chemistry to materials science.

At least since the introduction of the so called equivalent scaling in micro- and nanoelectronics the importance of materials became specifically significant. The utilization of nanoelectronic materials exceeds however the area of applications in micro- and nanoelectronics.
