Faster, ultra reliable, and ultra energy-efficient graphene interconnects
Semiconductor industry’s very first CMOS-compatible, low-temperature, 300mm-scale, graphene interconnect technology
State-of-the-art interconnect material copper (Cu) is running out of steam due to a non-linear increase in resistivity with scaling, which degrades performance, reliability, and energy-efficiency. The semiconductor industry is actively looking for a solution.
Engineered graphene offers lower resistivity and up to 100-folds higher current-carrying capacity, compared to conventional Cu interconnects, leading to faster, more reliable, thinner, and more energy-efficient interconnects.
For CMOS and related microelectronics applications, high-quality graphene must be directly deposited (transfer-free) on a variety of substrates including dielectrics and metal layers at back-end-of-line (BEOL) compatible temperatures (<450 °C), which makes conventional graphene growth via chemical vapor deposition and other methods unsuitable since they require significantly higher temperatures.
