​AIXTRON joins the GraFunkL project that develops graphene-enhanced UVC LEDs to combat multi-resistant pathogens 

AIXTRON has announced it has become a partner in the “GraFunkL” research project for the use of novel graphene-enhanced UVC LEDs, which, among other things, are to be used against multi-resistant hospital pathogens. 

GraFunkL stands for “Graphene as a functional layer in UVC LEDs”. Additional partners in the project are the Materials for Electrical Engineering department headed by Prof. Dr. Gerd Bacher (University of Duisburg-Essen, UDE), Aachen-based Protemics GmbH, which specializes in terahertz measurement technology, and Regensburg-based ams-OSRAM International GmbH, a pioneer in lighting and sensor technologies. The project will be funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) with EUR 2.1 million over the next three years.
