Technology

Aneeve aims to align nanotechnology advanced research and development with semiconductor, defense, communication and energy industry needs and application spaces.

Areas of opportunity include new nanomanufacturing pathways for nanoelectronics. One such example is ink-jet printing with CNT inks. Using this platform, printed integrated circuits can be made on various substrates with low start-up costs ($1,000’s), and be scalable and applicable to applications such as bio-sensing applications.

Our team is also exploiting advanced nanomaterials such as graphene, which exhibits the highest electronic quality among all known materials has been a profound discovery that occurred in 2004. Although theorists have known of graphene for over 60 years, the community has been delighted to be able to confirm the materials remarkable electronic properties. Graphene has an astonishing 200,000 cm2/Vs which is over 100 times that of silicon. Such high electron mobility lends it to be an extremely efficient conductor and also lends it to be used for high performance devices for both high power (power FETs) and low power (integrated circuit) applications. Graphene also exhibits high gain and high frequency operation in terahertz (THz) frequencies making it useful in analog and RF circuit applications. Other aspects include graphene's exceptional thermal conductivity been measured up to 5850 W/mK (50x more than silicon) quiet possibly making it a superior material for thermal management of nanoscale devices.
