Israel Innovation Authority Approves Successful Completion of Graphene R&D
Program
Highlights
•
•
•
•
Project focused on initial demonstration of low-temperature graphene deposition—critical
to next-gen semiconductor performance in AI and high-performance computing
Total approved grant of A$520,000 represents 50% of project costs, validating Adisyn’s
graphene interconnect development
Final grant payment of A$100,000 received following successful audit and completion of
Israel Innovation Authority (IIA) R&D program
Approval follows recent delivery of a state-of-the-art ALD system to Adisyn’s 2D Generation
facility
Adisyn Ltd (ASX: AI1, “Adisyn” or “the Company”) announces the successful completion of 2D
Generation’s, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, R&D program funded by the Israel Innovation
Authority (IIA). The total grant received by 2D Generation to date is A$520,000—representing 50%
of the total R&D expenditure (A$1.04 million) undertaken by 2D Generation from May 2024 to
February 2025. While A$420k of the grant was received by 2D Generation prior to it being acquired
by the Company (ASX: 9 Jan 2025), the IIA's decision to approve the full grant amount followed a
comprehensive technical and financial audit by the IIA, validating the Company’s execution and
results, and has resulted in the Company receiving the final A$100,000 grant payment.
Strong Endorsement from a Global Innovation Leader
The IIA is internationally regarded for its robust due diligence processes and plays a central role in
advancing Israel’s leadership in semiconductor and deep-tech innovation. Its support reflects strong
confidence in the scientific and commercial potential of Adisyn’s proprietary low-temperature
graphene interconnect deposition technology.
The IIA’s assessment of the project included:
•
•
•
•
The Company’s innovation and intellectual property,
Market size and long-term commercial potential,
Team capability, technical progress, and use of consultants,
Resource planning and compliance with funding criteria.
The grant was made under the Startup Fund program
(https://innovationisrael.org.il/en/programs/startup-fund/#about_route), which supports
companies pursuing groundbreaking R&D with global impact potential.

Technology Overview: Graphene Interconnects for a New Era of Computing
Adisyn’s 2D Generation subsidiary is developing an innovative semiconductor interconnect solution
based on graphene—a single-layer, two-dimensional carbon material with exceptional electronic,
thermal, and mechanical properties.
The Company’s ALD-based (Atomic Layer Deposition) process aims to produce high-quality graphene
films directly onto semiconductor wafers at low temperatures, overcoming key barriers that have
previously limited graphene’s adoption in chip manufacturing and potentially offers a replacement
for industry standard Copper interconnect architectures.
Key advantages include:
•
•
•
•
Up to 200x higher electron mobility than copper,
Reduced power consumption and resistive heating,
Minimal signal degradation at advanced (sub-5nm) geometries,
Compatibility with existing semiconductor process flows.
The solution is aimed at unlocking faster, greener, and more scalable chips for AI, data centres, and
edge computing—markets demanding ultra-high performance and thermal efficiency.
Strategic Outlook
Commenting on the achievement, Adisyn Chairman Kevin Crofton said:
“The final approval from the IIA represents more than funding—it is a strong endorsement from one
of the world’s most credible innovation agencies. With the delivery of the new ALD system
announced last week, and the use of the ALD system in TAU, we are able to carry on the work partially
funded under the IIA grant and proceed to demonstrating technical relevance to the industry. Our
ALD systems, upgraded infrastructure, and a growing IP portfolio, uniquely positions Adisyn to close
the gap between scientific advancement and commercial application in the semiconductor space.”
This milestone reinforces Adisyn’s broader mission to address key bottlenecks in chip performance
and energy efficiency—especially in the context of AI, 5G, and advanced computing markets.
This announcement has been approved for release by the board of Adisyn Ltd.
