ASX Announcement
6 August 2025
Graphene Interconnect Development Enters Next Phase
Highlights:
-
BENEQ Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) systems now operational, replacing legacy VEECO system.
-
R&D activities at the Adisyn facility, in parallel with Tel Aviv University.
-
Phase One activity, focused on precursor testing, graphene growth, and optimisation, underway.
-
Multiple carbon-ring-based precursors to be evaluated in repeated test-refine cycles.
-
Key technical milestones are expected to be achieved throughout the year 2025 and into early Q1 2026.
-
From Q1 CY2026 focus will be on input refinement, repeatability, and uniformity.
-
Development led by a globally experienced team across Israel, Europe, and the US.
-
Major partnerships in place to facilitate the development of AI1’s graphene interconnect technology to enable the next generation high performance chips.
Adisyn Limited (ASX: AI1) (“Adisyn” or “the Company”) is pleased to provide shareholders with a comprehensive development update following the successful commissioning of its newly acquired Beneq TFS 200 Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) system at its R&D facility in Israel[1] .
This milestone marks the beginning of a major phase of technical activity focused on optimising the Company’s patented low-temperature graphene technology, which is designed to address one of the most significant technological bottlenecks in semiconductor manufacturing - the limitations of copper interconnects at advanced nodes (sub-5nm).
Solving a Semiconductor Bottleneck
Copper interconnects are reaching their physical and performance limitations in advanced semiconductor manufacturing (sub-5nm nodes), constraining speed, energy efficiency, and miniaturisation.
Graphene, renowned for its exceptional electrical and thermal conductivity, is seen as the ideal replacement. Yet, the industry has faced a critical challenge: its inability to grow high-quality graphene directly onto wafers at semiconductor-compatible temperatures.
Adisyn, through its wholly owned subsidiary 2D Generation (2DG), is addressing this issue via a patented, low-temperature ALD process using carbon-ring-based organic precursors. This approach enables direct graphene deposition at lower temperatures, making it compatible with existing semiconductor manufacturing infrastructure.

Phase One: Precursor Development and Graphene Growth Underway
This is a key development phase in which the results of several years of foundational research and internal experimentation are being validated through controlled testing and iterative optimisation. The goal is to confirm the practical feasibility of Adisyn's proprietary low-temperature graphene growth process under semiconductor-relevant conditions.
Following the commissioning of the BENEQ TFS 200 ALD system in Israel and parallel access to a similar system in Tel Aviv University[2] , Adisyn has now commenced the next critical phase of graphene development.
The first phase of activity is focused on precursor development and involves several interdependent steps designed to establish the graphene growth sequence. These include:
-
Plasma Pre-Clean: This crucial initial step removes contamination from the surface enabling a clean substrate for the subsequent growth of ultra-thin atomic level films.
-
Deposition Sequence: The graphene growth process begins by mixing gases with selected organic precursors to co-react and form graphene films.
-
Post-Anneal: After deposition, annealing is used to enhance the crystalline quality and electrical properties of the graphene.
-
Characterisation and Feedback: Resulting films are evaluated through rigorous testing, feeding into a continuous test-refine cycle to optimise growth parameters.
==> picture [396 x 164] intentionally omitted <==
This cycle will be repeated numerous times to assess at least three identified precursor candidates, with the aim of determining optimal growth conditions and validating repeatability.
The BENEQ system is critical to this progress, enabling:
-
Heated precursor lines for low-volatility materials.
-
Use of multiple reactive gases
-
Plasma-enhanced surface activation.
-
Flexible temperature controls for film tuning.
-
Cleaner deposition environment with ultra-low pressure chamber.

This phase is expected to continue during the balance of 2025 and into early Q1 2026, at which point the project will move into development phase focused on:
-
Recipe Development: Optimising pre-clean and deposition cycles for uniformity and yield.
-
Repeatability Testing: Assessing reproducibility of high-quality graphene growth.
-
Wafer-Scale Integration: Moving to larger format substrates.
-
Industry Collaboration: Engaging partners for commercial trialling and joint development.
Adisyn believes this low-temperature ALD graphene growth process, if scalable and repeatable, has the potential to unlock a new generation of semiconductor interconnects.
The Company will continue to provide regular updates as development milestones are achieved.
