View the latest webinar from Oxford Instruments Exploring flatlands: fabrication technologies One of the key technical challenges in the commercial realization of graphene and related 2D materials is the development of robust fabrication techniques for deposition, etching and integration with other processes in a device-fabrication facility. This webinar focuses on recent advances in research from academic speakers at the forefront of their fields, and from Oxford Instruments. You will learn about: • the use of controlled etching processes for novel 2D heterostructures; • growth and characterization of graphene and hexagonal boron nitride via CVD and plasma-enhanced CVD; and • use of ALD in the deposition of low-resistance contacts and high-k dielectrics on graphene.
