CSAR lecture: Graphene, Two Dimensional Materials & Delivering the Future of Electronic Devices

Speaker: Dr Simon Thomas, Paragraf Ltd

Our insatiable demand for higher performance in electronics has driven us to push traditional semiconductor materials, such as Silicon, to the limits. The resulting complex devices required to achieve our needs from these materials have imposed exponentially increasing power demands. To deliver the electronic devices of the future and alleviate these issues we need to introduce new, advanced materials with improved inherent characteristics. Two-dimensional materials, the most notable of which being graphene, offer extraordinary advanced in capabilities that can, if harnessed usher in a new age of advanced electronics.

This lecture will introduce graphene and 2D materials, the potential they offer, scaling of the first graphene electronics products, how this breakthrough was achieved by Paragraf, the exciting applications the devices will enable and the future landscape of two-dimensional electronics including the immense benefits they can bring, from driving to Net Zero through to diagnostics that will save millions of lives.
