The CD laboratory's two focal points: the complex production and cleaning process of silicon crystal discs for the semiconductor industry and the control of complex test beds for the automotive industry.
Starting shot for Christian Doppler Laboratory for Model-Based Control of Complex Test Bed Systems. From vehicles to solar energy systems, practically all systems are becoming more and more complex, are being quickly further developed, and have to be comprehensively tested before use. This calls for suitable high-performance and flexible test beds; but developing them is extremely challenging. "Creating suitable testing facilities is an extremely relevant future problem for industry. And here, control technology is very much in demand," says Martin Horn, head of TU Graz's Institute of Automation and Control. With his four-person team and in cooperation with the Graz testing-technology specialist Kristl Seibt and the Villach-based supplier of the semiconductor industry, Lam Research, Horn will spend the next seven years dealing intensively with control concepts for test bed systems in the new "Christian Doppler Laboratory for Model-Based Control of Complex Test Bed Systems", which kicks off at TU Graz on 23rd October. "Both companies are attractive cooperation partners because they get to the bottom of the undesirable phenomena of their products in a sustainable way instead of being just being driven by specific customer requests.
