2D-PL multi-project wafer run 3


EU Funded

Graphene is an atomically thin material with extraordinary properties enabling next-generation devices and technologies. Its seamless integration with platforms such as CMOS BEOL enables enhanced functionality and efficient incorporation into existing semiconductor processes, paving the way for new innovations.

VTT uses commercially available Si CMOS readout wafers and standard semiconductor manufacturing techniques to produce CMOS integrated graphene-based devices at the wafer scale. The process flow enables graphene-based devices such as Field Effect transistors, resistors, and capacitors connected to the Si CMOS readout circuitry. VTT’s fabrication and quality control processes monitor key parameters in the runs, ensuring the customer’s devices are up to the targeted parameters. An example of the graphene FET CMOS integration by VTT is discussed in this publication.

About VTT

VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland Ltd is a state-owned non-profit research and technology organisation (RTO) with the aim of strengthening Finnish and European industrial competitiveness in multiple fields ranging from sustainable food and energy production to quantum computing. As an RTO VTT acts between universities and industry, bringing basic research towards industrial adaptation and helping the industry in their R&D needs. Graphene industrialisation at VTT is based on 2 600 m2 cleanroom in Micronova, Espoo, with a focus on wafer-scale CVD graphene process optimisation for electronics, photonics and sensors, including the integration on silicon CMOS for multiplexed sensor arrays. In addition to the MPW runs, VTT offers contract research, prototyping and small-scale manufacturing.
