L2D2 reaches its conclusion and shares final results in project press release

After an exciting journey of research, validation and collaboration, the EU-funded L2D2 project has now come to an end. The consortium is proud to close the project by publishing a final press release that captures the main outcomes and the technological milestone achieved.

At the core of the project’s results is Laser Digital Transfer (LDT) - a laser-based approach designed to enable selective and clean placement of graphene and other 2D materials on CMOS-compatible / silicon photonicsplatforms, with demonstrated wafer-level compatibility up to 8-inch. 

Over the course of the project, L2D2 demonstrated that LDT can support:

• Patterned transfer of 2D-material “pixels” with feature sizes ranging from <10 μm to >500 μm

• Compatibility with 4-inch and 8-inch wafer platforms 

• Clean transfer without polymer residues or solvent contamination 

• Strong potential for reproducibility and automation in an industrial context 

These capabilities strengthen the path toward manufacturable integration of 2D materials for applications such as optical modulators, photodetectors, integrated transceivers and sensors. 

L2D2 was funded under Horizon Europe with support from the European Innovation Council (Grant Agreement No. 101058079) and brought together partners from research, industry and innovation management: National Technical University of Athens (Coordinator), Graphenea Semiconductor, NVIDIA Mellanox, Bar-Ilan University, and Exelixis Research Management & Communication. 

To learn more about the project’s final outcomes and technical achievements, we invite you to read the final L2D2 press release and explore the resources available on the project website.
