VEB Halbleiterwerk Frankfurt was the largest manufacturer of semiconductor devices in the German Democratic Republic. In 1989, HFO produced 110 million integrated circuits , 9.7 million transistors, and 150 million transistor chips. Despite this, HFO did not rise to prominence like Zentrum Mikroelektronik Dresden or VEB Mikroelektronik "Karl Marx" Erfurt . Also unlike Zentrum Mikroelektronik Dresden and VEB Mikroelektronik "Karl Marx" Erfurt, HFO did not survive long after German Reunification.
In January 1958, the production of Germanium diodes started in the building of a former vocational school. Halbleiterwerk Frankfurt was officially founded on 1 January 1959. In January 1961 new production facilities for germanium alloy-junction transistors and diodes went into operation in the Markendorf quarter of Frankfurt . First silicon devices followed in 1963.
