As part of the completed European 2D-Experimental Pilot Line (2D-EPL) project, AMO GmbH has realized two multi-project wafer runs for the large-scale production of electronic devices based on graphene.
The discovery of graphene and other two-dimensional materials in 2004 was seen as potentially revolutionary for advances in microelectronics. The material’s high carrier mobility, broadband optical absorption, low thickness and high mechanical strength have raised great expectations for the use of graphene in electronics, optoelectronics and sensor technology.
‘There are now plenty of publications that show prototypes of devices based on 2D materials with performances significantly beyond the state-of-the-art,’ says Cedric Huyghebaert, technical leader of the 2D-EPL project.
However, the semiconductor industry has not yet produced any commercially viable graphene devices. This is due to a number of challenges, including but not limited to graphene growth, graphene transfer and purification. The transition from scientific experiments involving only a small number of graphene devices to real applications based on reliable manufacturing processes for mass production has stagnated.
The 2D-EPL project, which was funded by the European Commission, was a €20 million initiative that sought to demonstrate the technical feasibility of manufacturing devices based on graphene and other two-dimensional materials on a large scale. The primary objective of this project was to promote market feasibility. In pursuit of this objective, all actors involved in the value chain were convened between October 2020 and September 2024, resulting in the execution of five multi-project wafer (MPW) runs. In addition to the development of process modules at an industrial level, the delivery of graphene-based devices to customers was a further objective. Each of these runs provided universities, research institutes and companies with the opportunity to customise their components on a wafer chip.
‘Our final goal is to demonstrate that it is possible to produce a wide range of devices based on two-dimensional materials in a way that is interesting for industry, and each multi-project wafer run wants to set a milestone in that direction,’ explains Professor Max Lemme, scientific director of AMO GmbH and holder of the Chair of Electronic Devices at RWTH Aachen University
AMO GmbH has successfully executed the inaugural and third multi-project wafer run in a cutting-edge clean room facility. The initial MPW run addressed the definition of graphene field-effect transistors with exposed graphene channels, with a focus on their applications in chemical and biosensor technologies. The subsequent MPW run dealt with the definition of transistors with dielectric encapsulation, which were intended for utilisation in electronic applications. The specified device performance parameters for mobility, charge neutral point, sheet resistance and contact resistivity were measured. Should the target values be realised and the optical microscopic analysis demonstrate acceptable quality with regard to lift-off and etching, the wafer would be deemed ready for delivery. The researchers confirmed the existence of challenges that had previously been identified, including the formation of residue from the resist, which can present difficulties in the context of biosensor applications, given the necessity of a pure graphene surface. Furthermore, there were still unknown problems at the time, such as unexpected customer-specific requirements and their technical realisation, which had to be solved.
‘We consider the wafer runs to be successful because the device yield and performance met or exceeded the initial specifications across the wafers. In addition, all customers were served with little or no delay,’ reads the scientific article presenting the results of the first and third multi-project wafer runs.
The results of the five multi-project wafer runs form the basis of the follow-up project 2D-Pilot Line (2D-PL). The objective of the present pilot line is to further strengthen the European ecosystem in the development of integration modules for photonics and electronics prototyping services. The work is centred on the maturation of semiconductor technologies and the provision of information to support industrial deployment. In this context, comprehensive prototyping services are offered for the integration of 2D materials, such as graphene, on established semiconductor platforms with silicon technologies.
The scientific article Multi-project wafer runs for electronic graphene devices in the European 2D-Experimental Pilot Line project provides further insights into the multi-project wafer runs one and three.
Further information on the topic can be found on the homepage of the Chair of Electronic Devices.
The 2023 Annual Report of the Graphene Flagship provides an overview of the work of the 2D Experimental Pilot Line, presenting the current status of 2D materials research in Europe and new projects.

I´m gonna be an Engineer – Team HVT
In the field, lightning strikes and other extreme events can push the power infrastructure to its limits. To ensure safe operation, tests can be carried out using high-voltage generators.
The High Voltage Technology (HVT) research and teaching unit is actively involved in developing new solutions for the energy transition. Here, three members of the team give an insight into their day-to-day work.
Through your research, you are committed to pushing the boundaries of innovation in the energy sector. But where did you start? Alexandra, what subjects were you interested in at school and what happened then?
‘My journey into the energy sector began when I was still at school. From an early age, I had a strong interest in scientific subjects, especially physics and mathematics. When I was at school, my secondary school had a direct cooperation programme with the university where I later completed my Bachelor’s degree. As part of this programme, we were able to attend additional courses after school, which allowed us to get to know different aspects and types of STEM subjects better. I had always been fascinated by physics, but I soon realised that I wanted to study engineering. What ultimately led me to electrical engineering was my desire to solve real-world problems and drive innovation.’
A test bench has been set up for electrical engineering and information technology students to put their theoretical knowledge to the test.
The rapid transformation of the energy system is creating new challenges. Electricity highways such as Südlink and Südostlink will transport electricity from onshore and offshore wind farms from the north to all parts of Germany. They will use high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission. You are researching insolation systems under direct current load. What are the advantages of direct current (DC) over alternating current (AC)? And why is a reliable isolation system so important?
‘Projects such as Südlink and Südostlink use high-voltage direct current (HVDC) to transport electricity efficiently over long distances. HVDC has the advantage over alternating current that it offers lower transmission losses, higher transmission capacities and improved grid stability. In addition, HVDC can be easily integrated into existing grids. A reliable insulation system is essential to ensure the safety and efficiency of the entire transmission system. In addition to withstanding the high loads associated with stationary power transmission, the insulation must also be able to withstand short-term transients of overvoltage. The correct functioning of the insulation system is critical to the proper operation of the entire energy system, as critical infrastructure such as power cables, converters and power transformers require a properly functioning insulation system. Our research focuses on optimising these systems to increase the reliability and lifetime of transmission networks, ultimately supporting the energy transition.’
One application for the MMC test bed is the safe and ‘intelligent’ integration of electricity from offshore wind farms into the onshore transmission grid. Eight laboratory-scale modular multilevel converters (MMCs) enable the simulation of different systems and scenarios in real time, making it possible to plan the implementation of the energy transition.
In a vision of the future, we will be driving autonomous cars that we charge with renewable electricity from the ‘smart grid’. From your research perspective, what demands will be placed on the electricity grid? What groundbreaking developments are you working on? And what projects are you most excited about?
‘The electricity grid must meet many requirements to ensure a reliable and efficient supply of energy. In our research area, we work on different aspects of the energy transition, divided into the Insulation Systems, Primary Technology and Diagnostics and DC Systems teams. This allows us to cover both the ‘big picture’ of the grid and the ‘small picture’ of the critical components in the grid. With today’s focus on the new green power system of renewable energy and environmentally friendly circuit breakers, we are working on exciting projects that will enable this transformation. These include DC switches for DC systems and advanced environmentally friendly insulation systems for various applications. Another important aspect of our work is the integration of new technologies into existing systems to ensure a smooth transition. What I find particularly exciting are projects that deal with the further development and adaptation of existing equipment in the context of the energy transition. This work helps to ensure that the existing electricity system continues to operate efficiently and reliably, while at the same time driving the transition to renewable energy and modern technologies.’
From left: Verena West is researching new types of circuit breakers as components of a meshed AC grid. Aleksandra Wiecha is researching the lifetime of insulation systems in the context of distributed energy generation and supply.
Your research will cover a broad spectrum from modern electrical systems to control and protection concepts for future power grids. You have a state-of-the-art laboratory infrastructure at your disposal. Verena, what is a typical working day like? What other aspects of the job are important? How important is teamwork and other soft skills?
‘In the mornings, I start at least an hour before I start working with the students (final year students and student assistants) in the lab. During this time, I deal with my emails and try to find time to work on my thesis topic. When the students arrive, we go through the plan for the lab day and I give them the go-ahead to start their experiments. Then I go back to my desk and work on various projects, analysing the results of experiments or working on my dissertation. If there are problems in the lab, I help out. Teamwork is very important to me, because you can’t get very far in the lab without working together. The support and guidance from experienced colleagues is very helpful. As the work as a research assistant covers many different topics, the ability to quickly familiarise yourself with new problems is also extremely important, as is good time management.’
Sarah’s research focuses on the protection of AC lines in the transmission grid as the share of renewable energy increases.
Diversity and equal opportunities are core values in your team. Sarah, what does work-life balance mean to you personally and do you live it?
‘Work-life balance is a popular trend these days. In addition to my professional life, I regularly commute between my home in Bavaria and Aachen. This situation poses a particular challenge when it comes to finding the perfect balance. I have learnt that work-life balance does not necessarily mean an equal division of time between work and private life. It is more about setting priorities and making compromises in order to integrate both areas in the best possible way. It’s important to define what work-life balance means to you individually, rather than following general trends. To balance my professional and personal responsibilities, I rely on clear prioritisation and good organisation. I consciously make time for sport, activities with family and friends, travel and also periods of rest to ensure a sustainable balance. The support of my environment plays an important role in this. Of course, there are periods when one area requires more attention than the other, but overall I always strive for balance.’

The Chair of Active Energy Distribution Grids at the Institute of High Voltage Equipment and Grids, Digitalization and Energy Economics (IAEW) currently employs five female researchers who demonstrate how varied and exciting a technical degree and subsequent doctorate can be.
Each has a unique educational background – from electrical and industrial engineering to physics and computer science. What they all have in common is a shared motivation: A passion for science and a desire to shape the future through technological innovation. Their topics range from the design of protection systems and cybersecurity to the use of AI in network operations. Whether simulating on the computer or experimenting in the lab, each contributes their unique knowledge and can build new expertise in previously unknown areas.
Antigona, team leader of the Resilient Grid Control Technology group, explains her motivation for studying industrial engineering with a focus on electrical engineering:
„Even at school, I was very interested in maths and physics. I was also fascinated by electrical engineering as a branch of physics, and I thought that combining it with business administration would open up excellent career opportunities.“
STEM professions are not only in high demand in many sectors, they also offer excellent career prospects. The high need for skilled professionals ensures job security and stable career prospects. These professions also open up international opportunities, whether through projects abroad or working in international teams.
Making a social contribution to the energy transition is now particularly important to Antigona. In this respect, she feels it is her responsibility to act as a role model for young women who also want to pursue a career in STEM professions:
„I would like to set a good example and encourage young women to develop their own potential.”
When it comes to doctorates, everyone agrees that they allow you to constantly learn new things and develop yourself. In addition to personal growth, this position would offer the opportunity to play an active role in shaping social development. Being active in research would therefore mean to work on precisely those projects that have the potential for meaningful change.
„Doctoral studies allow us to work on cutting-edge technological and scientific innovations,” explains Antigona.
The work of the Chair of Active Energy Distribution Networks is characterised by a wide variety of projects carried out with both research and industrial partners. There are simulative projects, where computer models are used to analyse and predict complex systems, and laboratory-based projects, where practical experiments and physical tests are carried out on energy systems.
The research projects are often closely linked to the doctoral topics of the staff and lead to the publication of research results in renowned scientific publications. The exchange with other research institutions and universities promotes an intensive scientific discourse and contributes to the further development of the projects. In addition, participation in international conferences offers the opportunity to present research results to a wide audience and to gain new insights.
Industrial projects at the IAEW are a unique opportunity to actively participate in the strategic decisions and innovation processes of companies. These projects enable staff to gain relevant practical experience during their doctorate and to make a significant impact at an early stage. By working directly with industry partners, they not only enhance their technical expertise, but also develop important project management and strategic planning skills. They can also build a strong network of industry partners during their time at university.
In addition, a doctoral degree offers a wide range of opportunities for personal and professional development. By taking on new positions within the Institute, employees can strengthen and expand their leadership skills. This experience is crucial for a successful career in industry and prepares them for future leadership roles.

Lecture – Batteries for the energy transition:
Exponential market growth, price reductions as a game changer – and what comes next and after the lithium-ion battery?
Prof. Dr. Dirk Uwe Sauer, ISEA Institute of RWTH Aachen University Wednesday 9. 4. 2025, 17:00-18:30,
Admission free, lecture/discussion Zoom, later video
The expansion of stationary energy storage systems as an element of the power supply system is increasing significantly as a result of an unexpectedly sharp fall in the costs and prices of lithium-ion battery cells. The global market for electric vehicles is also continuing to grow strongly. In China, around 50% of new vehicles sold last year were electric vehicles. Price reductions, not new technologies, are the key to these developments. In the presentation, we will discuss the reasons for the price reductions and the consequences, in particular for the establishment of our own battery cell production in Europe.
In addition, the status of alternatives to lithium-ion batteries will also be discussed, namely lithium-titanate, solid-state electrolyte, lithium-sulphur and sodium-ion batteries. The technologies can offer higher performance, lower weight or the replacement of rare or more expensive raw materials and are very interesting as alternatives and additions to the current portfolio.

Daimler and Benz grant for research into innovative blood pressure measurement technology
© MedIT
Markus Lüken was awarded a scholarship for the year 2025 by the Daimler and Benz Foundation for his research work on monitoring blood pressure fluctuations with inconspicuous sensors.
After studying electrical engineering and information technology at RWTH Aachen University, Markus Lüken completed his doctorate at the Chair of Medical Information Technology (MedIT) with a thesis on the inconspicuous monitoring of gait stability in Parkinson’s patients. Lüken is currently head of the Biomedical Measurement Technology and Signal Processing working group at MedIT. His research focuses on non-invasive sensor systems and machine learning for medical diagnostics. In his current project, he aims to develop a non-invasive, patient-friendly way of monitoring blood pressure in everyday clinical practice, in order to provide the best possible assessment of the patient’s condition.
According to the foundation’s website: ‘Fluctuations in blood pressure and especially high blood pressure can have serious health consequences, but often go undetected.’
In accordance with this relevance, the young scientist is developing an inconspicuous sensor system that is integrated into the patient’s bed and serves to continuously monitor blood pressure trends without the aid of the conventional cuff. By combining multimodal, innovative and non-detectable measurement methods, parameters are collected that allow conclusions to be drawn about the development of blood pressure.
The Daimler and Benz Foundation has set itself the objective of strengthening the autonomy of the next generation of scientists and of supporting the academic careers of young and committed scientists after their doctorates, irrespective of their disciplines.
Further information on the 2025 scholarship holders is available on the official website of the Daimler and Benz Foundation.
Scholarship holder develops protective helmets made of snail shells
© Judith Peschges
Bayode Adeyanju from Nigeria is developing innovative protective helmets at the Chair of Electronic Devices (ELD) that combine natural and artificial materials.
In February of this year, the scientist arrived at the Chair of Electronic Devices at RWTH Aachen University, having been awarded a scholarship from the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). Until May, he will be conducting research under Professor Max Lemme’s supervision, with the objective of developing stable helmets that optimally absorb shocks and offer particularly good protection. For the purposes of his research, Adeyanju is combining artificial Kevlar fibres with natural snail shell nanoparticles. In the context of Nigeria, where snail shells are commonly viewed as a nuisance and a potential environmental concern, their high calcium content renders them of interest for materials research. The scientist crushed both materials and ground them finely. The substance was then combined with epoxy resin, and subsequently filled into a mould, where it underwent a process of hardening. Subsequent tests were then conducted to ascertain the impact resistance, hardness and density of the helmets. The combination of the favourable properties of the two base materials forms the basis for the production of high-performance protective helmets.
In his study, Adeyanju presents the results of his research, which indicates that the combination of natural and artificial materials enables the development of innovative protective materials. At RWTH, the scholarship holder utilises state-of-the-art research facilities and equipment to characterise selected materials. Such studies would not be possible at his home university in Nigeria.
‘Knowledge is power,’ says Adeyanju, adding: ‘RWTH has everything it takes to change the world.’
The first thing he noticed in Aachen was how the streets became quieter in the early evening as people went home, says Bayode Adeyanju. This is very different from his home country of Nigeria, where he is used to having friends and family over. Even though Aachen is quieter in the evenings than Nigeria, Adeyanju felt welcome from the start of his research stay. AMO GmbH, a non-profit research organisation, is also contributing to this by supporting his four-month stay. And after one month at RWTH Aachen, Bayode Adeyanju is sure that he would like to come back and continue his cooperation with the Chair of Electronic Devices (ELD).
‘I have received a great deal of support from my colleagues at the ELD and at AMO, as well as from the students, and I feel very happy here,’ says the scientist.
Adeyanju decided to apply to the DAAD two years ago and was accepted last year. The German Academic Exchange Service is a prominent funding organisation that facilitates international student and academic exchange. Funded by German universities and student bodies, the organisation aims to prepare future specialists and managers to act responsibly and to create lasting connections worldwide. This objective is pursued by fostering professional and cultural networks among scholarship holders. Since its foundation in 1925, the DAAD has sponsored more than 2.9 million young academics in Germany and abroad. It is institutionally supported by the Federal Foreign Office.
With its motto ‘Change by Exchange’, the DAAD emphasises the importance of international understanding and cooperation. Another of the organisation’s central concerns is to support developing countries in establishing efficient universities, thus contributing to social, economic and political development.
