Graphenea announces the opening of a new cleanroom at its premises in San Sebastian, Spain. The Class 1000 cleanroom, installed in March this year, is up and running and the company’s products are now being processed in the cleanroom environment. The exceptional conditions in the new cleanroom are expected to lead to higher quality and reproducibility of the graphene. In addition, a smaller contaminant particle density will result in higher yield and less impurities for better carrier mobility and smaller unintentional doping, making Graphenea CVD graphene even more attractive for electronic, optical, and other applications. The installation of the cleanroom...

Graphene and other 2D materials are excellent candidates for use in biosensing, due to a multitude of favorable properties. The 2D nature of the materials in itself provides intrinsic advantages, because the entire material volume acts as a sensing surface. Furthermore, graphene provides excellent mechanical strength, biocompatibility, thermal and electrical conductivity, compactness, and...

A collaboration between Graphenea and ICFO yielded the world’s first large area graphene-CMOS integrated device. The project built on the team’s expertise in photodetectors to produce a high sensitivity, high resolution camera that captures images from the ultraviolet to the infrared parts of the spectrum. A demonstration of graphene-CMOS integration opens the door to practical use of graphene in...

A graphene transistor that outperforms previous state-of-the-art has been developed by an international team of scientists gathered around the Graphene Flagship project. By utilizing a thin top gate insulator material, researchers from Italy, Sweden, the USA and Spain optimized transistor figures of merit such as maximum oscillation frequency, cutoff frequency, forward transmission coefficient,...

Graphenea showed presence at this year’s NanoTechconference and trade show in Washington, DC. The world’s largest nanotech event was co-located with the National Innovation Summit, the National SBIR/STTR Conference, and TechConnect 2017, which made for the largest global meeting on physical and life sciences. Graphenea had a booth at the exhibit and CEO Jesus de la Fuente gave a talk on the role...
