Norbert Fabricius
Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT0), Germany

Dr. Norbert Fabricius graduated in Physics and received his PhD from the University of Essen in 1985. In his industrial career between 1986 and 2002 he developed materials and processes for the manufacturing of integrated optical components used in telecommunication networks. His last industrial position was Director Operations at JDS Uniphase in Germany.

In 2003 he joined the Research Centre Karlsruhe (now KIT) as the head of the Helmholtz Program “Microsystem Technologies” and “Nanotechnology”. Since 2008 he is responsible for nanotechnology standardization.

He has experience in standardization on the national (DKE, DIN) and international (IEC, ISO) level for 25 years in different technology areas as well as in industrial and academic environments. He acts as the Secretary for the IEC Technical Committee 113 “Nanotechnology standardization for electrical and electronic products and systems” and is a member in a number of related IEC and ISO technical committees. On the national level he is Divisional Chairman of Div. 1 “General electrical engineering, materials for electrotechnology, environmental protection” at the DKE and active in a number of national standardization committees.

His most recent activity is the establishment of a standardization committee within the EU FET Flagship Initiative Graphene and the CENELEC Workshop on “Specifications for Graphene Related Material”.

Abstract

Since Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov were awarded with the Nobel Prize in 2010 for their work on graphene this material was subject to an enormous amount of research effort to understand its basic properties. Nevertheless graphene used for fundamental research very often is not comparable to raw materials available on the market. A wide range of fabrication methods from chemical exfoliation in liquid solutions to chemical vapor deposition on substrate provides materials with completely different properties.

Therefore it remains difficult to purchase these materials with consistent quality which hinders its broad use in industrial large scale fabrication. For the successful use of graphene and related materials within commercial applications it is essential to develop consensus-based international standards which define the material properties and the measurement protocols to measure them.

On international level this standardization process is performed as a joint effort of IEC, ISO, CENELEC and IEEE and revolves around the central document, the standard IEC 62565-3-1. This so-called Blank Detail Specification (BDS) provides a template that lists all relevant Key Control Characteristics (KCC) and the standardized measurement protocols to measure them. Currently the working draft of IEC 62565-3-1 lists more than 30 KCCs including “number of layers”, “sheet conductance”, and “transmission”. Currently there are no international standards published but the number of standardization projects in the responsible standardization committee IEC/TC 113 is increasing rapidly. In this situation it is evident that all standardization activities on national, regional and international level needs to be coordinated. As IEC 62565-3-1 provides a consensus list of KCCs this standard acts as a roadmap for graphene standardization. Furthermore it is a template for other 2D materials which are also subject for future standardization

This talk will provide a review of the international standardization activities on graphene technologies and present the status reached within the IEC, IEEE and ISO nanotechnology committees and the recently established CENELEC Workshop on “Specifications for Graphene Related Materials (CENELEC WS SGRM)”. It will point out the importance to coordinate the worldwide standardization activities. IEC/TC 113 is the right place to perform this. Therefore all countries are invited to join the committee and submit their New Work Item Proposals to fill the gaps for the KCC measurement procedures and BDS standards for related 2D materials.
