Graphene "Copy Machine" Creates Cheap Semiconductor Wafers

The overall cost of wafer manufacturing is poised to decline with a new graphene-based “copy machine” that transfers intricate crystalline patterns from an underlying semiconductor wafer to a top layer of identical material. The technology supports fabrication of devices from exotic, higher-performing semiconductor materials.
