Symposium NM01-Scalable 2D Materials—Synthesis, Processing, Metrology and Device Implementation

2D materials enable seemingly endless possibilities for a wide range of applications in electrical engineering, including e.g., light emitting or light sensing devices, transistors, memory devices, gas sensors, supercapacitors, or batteries. Their technological implementation, however, is lacking behind due to a considerable gap in scalable processing technologies and device architectures, characterization across all length scales, and fundamental understanding of related interface phenomena in realistic environments. This symposium will bring together leading international experts with the intention to cover the full processing chain from synthesis and processing to device implementation of 2D material units considering scalability and including sophisticated characterization and simulation concepts. Chemical synthesis and exfoliation of micron-sized 2D flakes with functionalized surfaces that can be processed through printing and coating techniques as well as area-select crystal growth and chemical vapor deposition approaches for large-area 2D material films that can be used as-synthesized or transferred to arbitrary substrates in fab compatible processes will be considered.
The sessions will cover (i) scalable synthesis and processing routes for 2D materials with high yield and control; (ii) characterization, modelling and manipulation of interface-controlled functionality of scalable 2D materials architectures, (iii) implementation of scalable 2D material units in realistic device architectures and (iv) industrialization aspects such as fab compatible growth, patterning, lithography and encapsulation. A profound understanding of the complete processing chain and the resulting device performance will help to identify key barriers that currently limit the transition of 2D materials from lab to fab.
