As Moore’s Law plateaus, spintronics promises a new computing paradigm and graphene may be its most promising platform. Its long spin diffusion lengths, ultra-high electron mobility, and 2D flexibility enable room-temperature spin transport over micro-meter distances. The challenge below maps interface engineering, tunnel-barrier materials, and ferromagnet integration that researchers at MIT, UC-Berkeley, and the Graphene Flagship are solving to build MRAM, spin transistors, and quantum logic.
IBM, Samsung, and Bosch have filed landmark patents as fabrication shifts from lab flakes to wafer-scale CVD graphene. Early prototypes already exceed silicon logic in switching speed and energy per bit. Our deep insights report lays out process recipes, IP chokepoints, and first commercial use-cases.
