Are you invested in AI1? If so, what are the highlights and lowlights from your perspective?
Hi zeebot,
There was an article about Adisyn yesterday:

Adisyn flips the switch on Beneq machine as graphene race gets real

Some background:
Adisyn bought 2D Generation on 20241104 @D had 3 patents for graphene deposition. They hope to develop ultra-low resistance connexions for semiconductors using ultra-thin graphene.
02876532.pdf Purchase of 2D Generation
Adisyn Ltd (ASX: AI1) (“Adisyn” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce, further to its previous announcement on 23 October 2024, that it has now entered into a binding Share Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) to acquire 100% of the issued share capital of 2D Generation Ltd (“2DG or 2D Generation”) (“Acquisition”).
AI1 entered into a Collaboration Agreement with 2DG, a semiconductor IP business, as announced on 15 July 2024. The companies have since continued to work together and identified significant opportunities to leverage 2D Generation’s semiconductor solutions and industry relationships to enhance AI1’s offering in its target markets, as well as leverage each other’s business partners to improve market penetration.
The Acquisition is a critical move forward for AI1's services businesses for
data centres, managed IT, cybersecurity, and generative AI. The Acquisition allows AI1 and 2DG to focus on developing
capital light semiconductor IP solutions for the data centre, cybersecurity, and managed IT business segments rather than competing in the high-capital expenditure (capex) infrastructure space. Based on the Terms of the Acquisition, Adisyn will be able to progress the development and commercialisation of 2D Generation’s unique Intellectual Property (IP).
2DG is a partner in the European Union's Joint Undertaking, ConnectingChips, which has been specifically formed and funded to fast-track the next generation of semiconductor chips to cope with generative AI's ever-expanding processing requirements, need for speed, and lower power consumption. 2D Generation’s solution has the potential to substantially improve the efficiency of data centres and generative AI solutions, as well a range of other real-world technological applications. It is generally accepted that the current generation of AI chips will reach their useful limits by 2030 or sooner.

US2025137120A1 METHOD OF MANUFACTURE OF GRAPHENE COATED SURFACES BY ATOMIC OR MOLECULAR LAYER DEPOSITION 20220315 NAVEH DORON YAACOV [IL] 2D GENERATION LTD [IL]; UNIV BAR ILAN [IL]
Method of manufacturing graphene on surfaces by use of atomic layer deposition or molecular layer deposition by deposition of a graphene molecular precursor comprising an aromatic hydrocarbon on top of the surface followed by transforming the molecular graphene precursor into a graphene coating by means of a carbon-carbon bond formation reaction.
US2025137126A1 GRAPHENE COATED METALLIC SURFACES, DEVICES AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURE THEREOF 20210920 NAVEH DORON YAACOV [IL]
A method for coating a metallic surface by a graphene layer by depositing a graphene molecular precursor comprising a compound having an aromatic hydrocarbon component that is derivatized by a tethering group. The tethering groups react with the metallic surface to form a covalent bond between the compound of the graphene molecular precursor and the non-metallic surface, and the graphene molecular precursor is transformed into a graphene interfacial layer which is covalently bound to the non-metallic surface.
US2024301554A1 GRAPHENE COATED NON-METALLIC SURFACES, DEVICES AND METHOD THEREOF 20210629 NAVEH DORON YAACOV [IL]
A method for coating a non-metallic surface (NMS) by a graphene layer by depositing a graphene molecular precursor comprising a compound having an aromatic hydrocarbon component that is derivatized by a tethering group. The tethering groups react with the NMS to form a covalent bond between the compound of the graphene molecular precursor and the non-metallic surface, and the graphene molecular precursor is transformed into a graphene interfacial layer which is covalently bound to the non-metallic surface. Alternatively, hydrophobic molecules are deposited on top of the non-metallic surface to which they covalently link, followed by self-assembly of molecular graphene precursor to the hydrophobic molecules and transformed into a graphene layer.
Looks like they are still in R&D phase.
There are tons of Chinese patents on this topic.
