Adisyn (ASX: AI1) has announced a significant technological breakthrough, successfully demonstrating continuous graphene formation at low temperatures using industrial Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) equipment.
Adisyn successfully demonstrated a full coverage, continuous graphene layer on a 1cm x 1cm coupon using standard industrial ALD equipment.
Crucially, the deposition temperature was well below the 450°C semiconductor thermal limit, a capability vital for integration into existing semiconductor manufacturing processes.
The quality of the continuous graphene films was confirmed through rigorous characterisation, including TEM/FIB-THEMIS cross-section analysis and Raman spectroscopy.
The company's immediate next steps involve recipe optimisation, repeatability trials, and scaling the process from coupon-level to wafer-level formats.
Path to Semiconductor Interconnects
This breakthrough positions Adisyn's technology as a potential solution to critical limitations faced by traditional copper interconnects in advanced semiconductor chips.
These issues include increasing resistance, heat generation, and power loss.
The company's approach utilises a proprietary ALD methodology and precursor chemistry designed to meet the strict constraints of semiconductor manufacturing.
Adisyn aims to engage with targeted Tier 1 semiconductor industry partners to further develop and integrate this technology.
This builds on Adisyn's earlier success in January 2026, when it confirmed Milestone 1 for the acquisition of 2D Generation.
This milestone involved independent verification of low-temperature ALD deposition of an sp2-based carbon layer on copper, achieved at temperatures below 300°C.
Strategic Management and Prior R&D
Adisyn has been strategically aligning its leadership and research efforts with its core semiconductor focus.
In February 2026, Arye Kohavi was appointed Managing Director to accelerate the company’s semiconductor-focused strategy.
This followed the acquisition of 2D Generation's semiconductor IP.
While the semiconductor program remains Adisyn's primary focus, the company has also explored secondary applications.
In February 2026, Adisyn reported an initial proof-of-concept demonstrating radar reflection reduction up to 20dB using graphene-enhanced composite materials. This work continues as a parallel stream.
Adisyn's Graphene Deposition Milestone
Adisyn has achieved a critical technical milestone with its low-temperature ALD graphene deposition process, moving it closer to potential semiconductor industry adoption.
This latest development underscores the company's intensified focus on semiconductor technology, leveraging its acquired intellectual property and strategic partnerships to drive innovation in advanced materials.
While this demonstration de-risks the core technology's manufacturing compatibility, successful scaling, repeatability, and industry partnerships remain key to commercialisation.
