On 8 July 2025, the Cambridge Graphene Centre (CGC) joined researchers, engineers, and start-ups from across the silicon photonics community at the CORNERSTONE User Day 2025, held in Southampton. Organised around the theme “User-Led, Future-Focused,” the event brought together both experienced users and new collaborators exploring the possibilities…

The Layered Materials Research Foundry (LMRF), a collaborative initiative between the Cambridge Graphene Centre (CGC) at the University of Cambridge and the Optoelectronics Research Centre (ORC) at the University of Southampton, is pleased to announce the installation and commissioning of a new SUSS MicroTec Mask Aligner at CGC’s Class 100 cleanroo…

On 7 March 2025, the Cambridge Graphene Centre (CGC) celebrated the successful sign-off of the Park NX20 Atomic Force Microscope (AFM), a major milestone for the Layered Materials Research Foundry (LMRF). This state-of-the-art system will significantly enhance CGC’s capabilities in nanoscale material characterization, reinforcing its position at th…

The Cambridge Graphene Centre (CGC) has received a state-of-the-art Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) from Park Systems as part of the Layered Materials Research Foundry (LMRF) project. This advanced AFM system, the NX20 model, is set to enhance research capabilities in the exploration of layered materials, providing critical insights into their proper…

The Cambridge Graphene Centre is now equipped with a Close Coupled Showerhead 2D (CCS2D/ MOCVD)!We are excited to announce the arrival of the Close Coupled Showerhead (CCS) 2D, a cold wall Chemical Vapour Deposition (CVD) and Metal Organic CVD (MOCVD) system, at our facilities. The CCS2D can produce single- and multi-layers of graphene, as well as …
