Integration of atomically thin materials for future electronics
Microelectronics have transformed the lives of every person on the planet, since their invention in the 1950s. By the magic of miniaturization, every new generation of electronic chips dramatically outperformed its predecessor, bringing us inventions such as the Internet and AI.
The so-called Moore’s law describing this trend seemed infallible – until it failed. Atomically thin, so-called two-dimensional (2D) materials promise to revitalize electronics by restarting the trend toward more energy-efficient chips and novel sensors. However, without a viable technology for integrating 2D materials in electronic chips that leverages established infrastructure, these materials cannot be utilized in real-world products. Our disruptive integration technology solves this critical issue. If implemented at scale in the semiconductor industry, it will unleash the potential of 2D materials, resulting in tremendous benefits for society.
