LONDON – Graphensic AB has been formed by researchers Professor Rositza Yakimova, Mikael Syvajarvi and Tihomir Iakimov as a spin-off from the Linkoping University, to commercialize the formation of graphene on hexagonal silicon carbide.
Graphene is a single-layer allotrope of carbon with hexagonally-bonded atoms that has exceptional performance parameters for electronics applications.
Graphensic's technology uses a high temperature process to produce epitaxial graphene on SiC. Graphensic (Linkoping, Sweden) is developing bilayer graphene on silicon carbide, graphene on carbon face and graphene on cubic silicon carbide products.

Is this only at the research stage so far? Once this is commercialized, how this graphene-on-SiC would be used to replace silicon? Any buyers for this identified already?
