01 / Research Systems

Complex devices.
Repeatable assembly.

A workhorse for your lab, freeing researchers to do research rather than tedious fabrication.

Glovebox-compatible, fully automated scan and transfer, with machine-vision assembly and optical quality assurance.

Built for demanding research

Precision, without
the one-off workflow.

For universities, national laboratories, and industrial R&D teams developing complex 2D heterostructures.

Complex stacks

Choose layers, position, and twist to define the device you need.

Consistent execution

Machine-vision feedback controls assembly rather than relying on manual user manipulation.

Documented builds

Connect the starting crystals, assembly workflow, and optical metrology into a build record for quality assurance.

System configurations

One platform.
Two metrology configurations.

Choose the Core System or extend the platform with confocal second harmonic generation (SHG) mapping for advanced twist control.

The foundation

Core System

  • Automatic crystal recognition and database
  • Machine-vision-driven pick-and-place
  • Twist control from the database
  • Bright-field, dark-field, photoluminescence, differential reflectivity.
Discuss the Core System

From single crystals to a complete device

Design. Assemble. Record.

  1. 01

    Scan and classify crystals

    Autonomously find candidate crystals and record their morphology and metadata.

  2. 02

    Design the stack

    Select the layers and define their relative position and twist.

  3. 03

    Robotic pick-and-place

    Autonomous assembly under closed-loop machine-vision control.

  4. 04

    Metrology and a build record

    Link optical quality assurance to the completed build.

The system seamlessly connects scanning, device design, machine-vision-driven assembly, and optical QA.

Practical questions

How it fits your lab.

Does the system exfoliate the materials?

No. The user prepares the chips. The assembly workflow starts with the supplied material, including exfoliated flakes or CVD-prepared material.

Is the device design completely automatic?

The researcher remains in control of the device design, including final flake selection from a searchable database. Machine-vision control automates the assembly process.

What does the Advanced Twist / SHG System add?

Confocal SHG mapping, automatic twist-angle recognition and armchair / zigzag edge detection, alongside the Core System capabilities.

Which 2D materials are compatible?

Right now: TMDs, hBN, and graphene. We will expand the material database quickly. Contact us to request a specific material.
