Archer’s biochip design validated by commercial foundry partner
Fabless semiconductor company Archer Materials has had its advanced graphene field effect transistor (gFET) chip design validated by an unnamed commercial foundry partner in the Netherlands with a whole four-inch wafer run. The new gFET device designs have been fabricated and the foundry process was successful, according to a statement from the company on Thursday. The electronic and spectroscopic characteristics of the gFET chips, and the foundry fabrication process yield, were consistent with expectations, and the chips compatible with Archer’s biochip system platform. Archer CEO Dr Mohammad Choucair said it represented both a key technology development and commercial milestone. “The whole wafer fabrication of the gFET device design is a significant step towards industrial production,” added Choucair….
