Christine Kallmayer

Christine Kallmayer received a diploma in experimental physics at the University of Kaiserslautern in 1994. Afterwards she worked as a research scientist at the research center „Technologien der Mikroperipherik“ at the Technical University of Berlin. Her main field of activity was the development and investigation of interconnection technologies using Au-Sn metallurgy for different applications, e.g. optoelectronics and the reliability of the metallurgical system. Since 1998 she is responsible for the group „System on Flex“ at Fraunhofer IZM. The main working areas are new technologies for flip chip integration on and in flex by soldering or adhesive bonding. Especially technologies for ultrathin chips are developed and investigated. The group is also developing new flexible substrate materials, e.g. based on thermoplastic polymers, together with optimized assembly technologies. A current research focus is on stretchable and conformable electronics based on textiles as well as elastomers.
