2D-Pilot Line

Project description

Improving 2D material fabrication for academia and industry

Graphene and other two-dimensional materials (2DMs) are critical for advancing electronic and photonic devices, but their fabrication remains a challenging field of research. The EU-funded 2D-PL project aims to address these challenges by developing integration modules for prototyping in photonics and electronics, thereby strengthening the European innovation ecosystem. The project will focus on improving 2DM fabrication processes within industrial settings and ensuring accessible pilot line services. Key offerings include process design kits and multi-project wafer runs, which are essential for outreach and collaboration. The initiative will target the development of modules for photonic and electronic devices and circuits, catering to academic institutions, research centres, SMEs and larger businesses.

Objective

Building on the foundation of the 2D-Experimental Pilot line project (2D-EPL), the 2D-Pilot line project, 2D-PL, has the ambition to further strengthen the European ecosystem in the development of the relevant integration modules for offering prototyping services in the field of photonics and electronics, working on the maturation of the technology, and providing essential information aiding industrial uptake.
The main objective of the pilot line is to further mature 2DM fabrication in an industrially relevant FAB environment to secure the 2D pilot line access. The service offerings include the preparation of relevant process design kits (PDKs) and multi-project wafer (MPW) run offerings, which are an essential part of this project's outreach plan. The large application space for 2DM and the broad differentiation for material property requirements make the development of such a pilot line very challenging. Therefore, within the scope of the 2D-PL project, the focus for module maturation is tailored towards the photonic and electronic devices and circuits reaching academic institutions, research centres, SMEs, and larger businesses.
