Wolfson Fellow leads research into sustainable semiconductor production

Semiconductors are used in everyday electrical appliances, ranging from smartphones to rice cookers. With the quantity of hazardous waste released during their manufacturing process, sustainability has become a critical concern in the semiconductor industry.

Bhaskaran's research demonstrates a mechanical approach called bilayer lithography. The water-based method is applicable to a wide range of materials, including sensitive ones like polymers and two-dimensional materials.

Harish Bhaskaran is Professor of Applied Nanomaterials in the Department of Materials at the University of Oxford. He is a Supernumerary Fellow at Wolfson.
