GATEPOST project celebrates its first anniversary


All eight European partners in the GATEPOST project celebrated a particularly pleasing event at the last six-monthly meeting. The project, funded by the European Commission through Horizon Europe, the European Framework Programme for Research and Development, has an ambitious goal. The development and production of a new type of graphene-based chip is intended to turn existing computer technology and IT security upside down and revolutionise them," explained Dr Mindaugas Lukosius of IHP GmbH Leibniz Institute for Innovative Microelectronics and lead partner in the project.

2D-EPL OFFERS A NEW EXPERIMENTAL MPW FROM GRAPHENEA SEMICONDUCTOR


Multi project wafer (MPW) runs are a common practice within the semiconductor ecosystem. Universities, R&D centres and start ups, which usually only need a few prototypes and operate with tight budgets, take advantage of this service to obtain devices at an affordable entry point. This is carried out with a mask sharing scheme, where devices with different geometries but shared device architecture are manufactured within the same mask; in this way, everyone gets a few devices but no one needs to purchase more devices than necessary. Now, Graphenea partners with the 2D Experimental Pilot Line (2D-EPL) to offer an MPW run with a novel process flow.
