Launched in October 2024, the Graphene Flagship’s 2D-Pilot Line (2D-PL) project aims to further strengthen the European ecosystem in the development of integration modules for photonics and electronics prototyping services.
Kari Hjelt and Henning Döscher of the Graphene Flagship, have collaborated on a new article published in Springer Nature Electronics titled: “The commercialisation of graphene electronics.”
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.
First major milestone achieved in the EU GATEPOST project: All eight European project partners from industry and science meet to discuss the progress of the project and reflect on the development work of the last six months.
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.
Kick-off of the EU project GATEPOST: Eight partners from all over Europe joined forces to make the Internet of Things (IoT) more secure and enable future 5G/6G applications. An outstanding consortium of business and academic partners is moving from a shared vision to joint action.
This new approach, developed by scientists from the University of Cambridge and RWTH Aachen University, could mark a real breakthrough for the industrialisation of graphene.
Graphene has proven to be a game-changer in the textile industry, that’s why several sports and clothing brands are working with graphene suppliers to produce graphene-enriched fabrics.
Graphene Flagship researchers at the Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (ICN2), Barcelona, have led the publication of Nature review that roadmaps the possibilities of 2D materials in spin-based memory technologies.
