Production line for thin-film solar cells. Surface spectroscopy. Depth profiling, electron microscopy and tomography.

Specialisation in the Physics of Condensed Matter with the fields of Materials and Biosciences, Special Interfaces and Nanostructures, Polymer Physics, Biophysics, Photovoltaics and Materials Science; strong networking in two collaborative research centres dealing with condensed matter and with the Federal Network of Nanostructured Materials as well as with the Max Planck Institute of Microstructure Physics, Fraunhofer Institute for Microstructure of Materials and Systems and Fraunhofer Center for Silicon Photovoltaics.

Various specialisations which have been specifically strengthened due to the appointment policy in the last 15 years; high level of interaction between theory and experiment; high level of networking due to two Collaborative Research Centres (SFBs) and the Federal Network of Nanostructured Materials; very intensive collaboration with Max-Planck and Fraunhofer Institutes on site, as well as with the local photovoltaic industry; the institute has recently renovated buildings, good infrastructure and modern equipment as well as a large clean room; very favourable supervision ratio between professors and students
