The 2D materials reproducibility gap: can it be closed?

The last two decades have seen remarkable progress in 2D materials research, yet technological adoption has been slower. One reason may be the difficulty in reproducing published studies, creating a gap between research and technology transfer. This "reproducibility gap" hinders further development, and this talk will examine the causes and offer solutions.

2D materials design for next-generation electronic devices

As our lifestyle changes, data created exponentially and continuously increases. In order to cope with the enormous amount of data being generated, future electronic devices are considering miniaturising current Si devices for the angstrom era and introducing 3D stacked device architectures and new functional devices. In this talk, I will introduce 2D materials design and integration properties for next-generation logic devices.

Introduction

 

Sanna Arpiainen, Infineon, Germany 

Industrialization aspects of 2D materials in IDM landscape

Over several decades, silicon platforms have been able to fulfill the increasing demands through new innovations and by merging alternative material solutions with e.g. epitaxial methods. To make 2D materials part of the platform, development of the reliability, integration yield and maturity are essential. This talk will address the requirements and prospects from the point of view of large-scale IDM, with a focus on sensing.

 

 

Muralikrishna Sathyamurthy, X-FAB, Germany

Potential and challenges for graphene integration - from the silicon foundry perspective

The talk will focus on capabilities from X-FAB related to Graphene technology and potential business opportunities in the field of sensors and photonics activities. In addition, it will deal will with the challenges related to integration of graphene from a foundry perspective (Monolithic and Heterogenous Integration).  

 

 

Harm Knoops, Oxford Instruments, United Kingdom

Low-damage, high-quality dielectrics on 2D materials by plasma ALD

A key challenge in realising 2D materials’ potential in emerging devices is the development of scalable, high-quality integration of dielectric materials as functional layers and encapsulation. We describe a novel method to deposit high-κ dielectrics on 2D materials through an in-situ-prepared protective seed-layer using remote plasma ALD.

 

 

Natasha Conway, Paragraf, United Kingdom

Scaling the production of high-quality graphene devices for sensing applications

Paragraf is the first company in the world to mass produce graphene-based electronic devices using standard semiconductor processes. This talk gives an overview of Paragraf's journey, from the growth of graphene to processing into final devices, enabling industry-ready magnetic and molecular sensing products for a range of applications.

Biomedical applications

Alexey Tarasov, MUNASET Project Coordinator, Germany

Graphene biosensors for applications in diagnostics and therapy response monitoring

This talk will provide an overview of recent research on graphene biosensors with optical and electrical readout for biomedical applications with a focus on surface modification and assay development.

Jose Garrido, ICN2, InBrain, Spain

Challenges of graphene-based neurotechnology in implantable medical applications. 

This presentation will provide an overview of the use of graphene-based technologies to enable efficient bidirectional communication with the nervous system. In the presentation, I will examine opportunities and challenges of graphene-based neurotechnology in neuroscience and implantable medical applications. 

Axel Fanget, Melexis, Switzerland

Development of an integrated GFET-on-CMOS biosensing platform
This talk will focus on the development at Melexis of a novel GFET-on-CMOS biosensing platform, which features a unique readout architecture designed for enhanced sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratio. The presentation outlines the project phases, highlighting the key challenges faced during fabrication and functionalisation as well as some of the results obtained within the 2D-EPL MPW runs. 

Alba Centeno, Graphenea, Spain

Graphene-based biomedical technologies

This talk will present examples of emerging Biomedical applications based on graphene produced by Chemical Vapour Deposition (CVD). The existing medical device technology can benefit from the integration of CVD graphene, promoting the advancement of novel diagnostics and monitoring techniques for a variety of diseases, including cancer detection systems, and opening the way to the development of new technologies assessing the effectiveness of drugs. Additionally, I will review some of the technological requirements that require further improvements from the perspective of graphene manufacturing.

Are recent advances in integrated photonics and 2D materials paving the way towards an optical computing advantage?

​Given the fast increases in computational requirements for AI workloads, which demand tremendous energy-efficiency and throughput enhancements during the next decade, alternative ways to compute are getting traction again.  In this talk, we will first give an update on the recent progress in the field of optical computing that is trying to address this need, and we will highlight remaining challenges and best practices when studying novel hardware proposals based on emerging material platforms using Graphene-on-SiN.

 

 

Alberto Montanaro, CNIT, Italy

Integrating Graphene Photonic ICs with electronics for Next-Gen 6G Sub-THz wireless connectivity

Optoelectronics allows the scale up of wireless link frequencies to >100GHz. This can be achieved using graphene photonics, which also enables the up/down conversion of Gb/s data streams within the sub-THz range using devices with unprecedentedly small footprints. In this talk we present the GraPh-X project which aims to integrate high performance integrated graphene devices together with amplifying electronics to realise transmitters and receivers for next-generation 6G wireless links in the D-Band (110 – 170 GHz).

 

 

Stephan Suckow, AMO, Germany

2D materials for opto-electronic applications - a very versatile combination

This talk gives an overview of how to make very different waveguide-integrated devices like heaters, photodetectors, modulators or light emitters from rather similar structures.

Metasurface-enhanced graphene photodetector with high responsivity and high bandwidth for near-infrared to mid-infrared integrated photonics

A waveguide-integrated graphene photodetector with steady-state responsivity over 2A/W and bandwidth beyond 40 GHz is demonstrated,  as enhanced by incorporating a metasurface with asymmetric metallisation.
