The report acknowledges that the institute has impressively enhanced the already very high performance level. FBH’s work in the field of III-V semiconductor technology is considered to yield excellent and internationally competitive state-of-the-art results with applications and technology transfer of high scientific, social, and economic relevance. "This report positively confirms our concept and our results", explains Günther Tränkle, "and encourages us to further pursue and even expand our ambitions resulting in excellent research and comprehensive transfer activities."
