Is organic chemistry employed in fab'ing graphene ICs?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

Organic chemistry has minimal relevance in the fabrication of microprocessors using graphene. The discussion clarifies that while graphene is a carbon allotrope, the principles of organic chemistry do not significantly apply to its production. Participants agree that knowledge of organic chemistry is not essential for those pursuing careers in microprocessor fabrication, particularly when focusing on graphene technology.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of graphene properties and applications
  • Basic knowledge of microprocessor architecture
  • Familiarity with semiconductor fabrication techniques
  • General Chemistry principles, particularly inorganic chemistry
NEXT STEPS
  • Research graphene synthesis methods, such as chemical vapor deposition (CVD)
  • Explore semiconductor fabrication processes, including photolithography
  • Learn about the electrical properties of graphene and their implications for microprocessors
  • Investigate advancements in materials science related to carbon allotropes
USEFUL FOR

Students and professionals interested in microprocessor fabrication, materials scientists, and anyone exploring the applications of graphene in electronics.

Hello, I am interested in possibly fabricating microprocessors if I make it through school. I have yet to take my first course in organic chemistry. Will I have to know anything about organic chemistry if I am to fabricate microprocessors? Do you know if organic chemistry is employed in the schemes to fabricate using graphene (the carbon allotrope)? Just my cents--I have had General Chemistry (inorganic) and graphene is carbon based and its lattice looks like the ring molecules in an organic compound.

Hardly anything about organic chemistry, which is a wide and rich study, applies to graphenes. If I were interested in cutting edge computer science I wouldn't worry about CHON chemistry.
