Special Report: 2DG’s cutting-edge semiconductor technology and new partnership with M&T Semiconductor could offer potential investors a unique opportunity to tap into the rapidly growing semiconductor space.
Adisyn Ltd (ASX: AI1), which has recently acquired 2D Generation (2DG), announced that 2DG has entered into a Business Development Agreement with M&T Semiconductor (M&T), a leading specialty semiconductor advisory firm.
2DG will work with M&T to introduce and facilitate strategic partnerships with equipment vendors, semiconductor fabricators, fabless chipmakers and end users.
The aim of the partnership is to secure licensing transactions and/or a buyout for 2DG.
2DG believes that the team at M&T has the potential to open doors at the highest levels of the industry; and that tangible results may begin to emerge in the near future.
Two leading industry experts at M&T
M&T is led by two industry experts, Dr Itzhak Edrei and Zmira Shternfeld-Lavie, who each bring over 30 years of experience in the semiconductor sector.
Both have had extensive careers at Tower Semiconductor, the world’s sixth largest semiconductor pure-play foundry.
Dr Edrei has held several high-level roles at Tower Semiconductor, including president, and is currently serving as Tower’s president emeritus.
He played a key role in establishing Tower’s R&D and Business Units divisions, helping grow the company’s organic and inorganic revenue from $100 million to $1.3 billion.
“We are extremely excited to be working with 2D Generation,” said Edrei.
“The industry dictates that 2D materials will play a crucial role in semiconductors and 2DG’s solution represents a breakthrough for future chip technology.
“This is not something the industry wants, it is something the industry needs.”
“We are confident in being able to deliver multiple meaningful partnerships with large semiconductor companies.”
Shternfeld-Lavie meanwhile, brings significant expertise in R&D process development across a range of fields such as CMOS, sensors, MEMS, discrete and more.
As general manager of Tower Semiconductor’s TOPS (Transfer Optimization and Development Process Services) business unit, she was instrumental in taking the business unit’s annual revenue from zero to approximately US$200m.
Why 2DG could be a game changer for semiconductors
The acquisition of 2DG by Adisyn is expected to be completed after shareholder approval at the general meeting scheduled for December 19.
2DG has developed a patented solution that enables graphene coating at sub-300°C, something that has never been achieved before.
The company believes this could open the door to next-generation semiconductors with increased miniaturisation, lower power consumption, reduced heat and enhanced computational power.
The aim of graphene coating is to improve the performance and capabilities of interconnects in semiconductors.
An interconnect is the conductive pathway that links different components within an integrated circuit (IC), enabling electrical signals to flow between elements like transistors, capacitors and resistors.
These interconnects are typically made from metals such as aluminium or copper and are crucial to the functioning of the IC.
As ICs become more complex and densely packed, the design and materials used for interconnects have had to evolve to address issues such as resistance, capacitance and signal integrity.
However, scalability has reached its limits, and overcoming these challenges has become a critical barrier in the semiconductor industry.
The solution to this problem is seen as the ‘Holy Grail’ of semiconductor development, with immense potential for accelerating miniaturisation and improving device performance.

2DG’s groundbreaking innovation enables in-situ ALD graphene deposition on the interconnect at temperatures below 300°C.
This graphene integration sets 2DG apart, and the company says it offers a disruptive solution with the potential to reshape the semiconductor manufacturing landscape.
“We are honoured and very fortunate to be guided by ltzhak and Zmira from M&T, who are very well respected by the industry,” said 2DG chairman and CEO Arye Kohavi.
“M&T brings invaluable experience and gravitas to 2D Generation and can open doors at some of the largest semiconductor companies in the world. We look forward to updating the market on our progress with M&T.”
