R&D Highlights
Jean-Pierre Noblanc Award
As the most innovative project of the framework MEDEA+, our project ELIAS has been awarded with the Jean-Pierre Noblanc Award 2009
TELEFUNKEN Semiconductors is active in several R&D projects, partly
supported by national and European funding authorities. This activity
enables TELEFUNKEN Semiconductors to provide ‘leading edge’
technologies and design methodologies to our foundry customers.
The ELIAS project is developing accelerated test and simulation
methodologies, providing predictions of component lifetimes already at
the design time. TELEFUNKEN Semiconductors is able to provide our
customers an innovative design flow for circuit developments, allowing
efficiently designing for very low failure rates over extended product
lifetimes.
This
work was supported by the German Federal Ministry of Education and
Research (BMBF) within the program IKT 2020 under grant contract ELIAS,
13N10340. The project consortium is consisting of European key
industrial partners and research institutes

A Long and Noble History
TELEFUNKEN has been a premier nameplate and innovator in all fields of electronics for over a century.
Founded in 1903 in Berlin, Germany the company has always been on the forefront of new technologies. Some of the greatest geniuses of 20th century electronics have been associated with TELEFUNKEN. Nikola Tesla assisted TELEFUNKEN in constructing the first wireless transmission system between North America and Europe in 1911. Walter Bruch developed the PAL color television technology standard for the company in 1963.
TELEFUNKEN established its Heilbronn, Germany semiconductor facility in 1959. The TR 4 and TR 440 computers were initially developed by TELEFUNKEN in the late 1960's and were in use by many computing centers into the mid 1980's.
TELEFUNKEN semiconductor GmbH & Co KG continues extending this rich heritage into the 21st century in the rapidly expanding technologies of analog-mixed signal semiconductors.
