About this report
In the heart of Europe’s microelectronics resurgence, Black Semiconductor has emerged as a bold innovator marrying photonics and graphene to redefine chip technology. Founded in Germany, this deep-tech venture is developing ultra-fast photonic microchips that integrate optical and electronic components on a single graphene-enabled wafer.
The company’s mission is not just technological but strategic: to revolutionize European semiconductor capability and curb reliance on foreign chip suppliers. Black Semiconductor’s approach – using a one-atom-thick layer of carbon (graphene) to convert electrical signals into light on-chip – promises to shatter current data bottlenecks.
Key questions this report answers
- How does Black Semiconductor use graphene to integrate photonic and electronic components on a single wafer for ultra-fast chips?
- How does its technology aim to curb European reliance on foreign chip suppliers?
