Where we work: two locations and growing
One team, novel technology, connected across locations.
Black Semiconductor acquires
Applied Nanolayers
Aachen is the headquarters to Black Semiconductor, where the technology connecting the chips of the future is built and where some of the industry's best are relocating to be part of it. Home of the world's first 2D material pilot facility, FabONE, this is where the knowledge behind Black Semiconductor IGP™ technology comes together: integrating electronics and photonics in a single production flow using graphene.
The city of Aachen itself is rich with history and known as the heart of Europe. Living here means be connected to thermal springs, an international community, and Eifel National Park, with Belgium and Netherlands just a short ride away.
Black Semiconductor acquires
Applied Nanolayers
How to deposit, pattern, grow and integrate graphene on wafers at industrial scale is at the heart of Black Semiconductor's graphene production in Zoetermeer. For ten years, the team has been building the wafer-scale capability critical for the successful development of Black Semiconductor's IGP™ technology. Join graphene experts working with a 2D material that is only at the beginning of its potential.
Zoetermeer pairs deep-tech work with green spaces and lakes. It's located just outside The Hague and well-connected across the Randstad metropolitan area.
The teams at Black Semiconductor

Our values, our people
We value honesty and open dialogue, ensuring everyone is heard as a unity of a committed team. We make morally sound choices and celebrate our achievements together.
Real difference comes from speaking up: when opinions are expressed openly, when knowledge is shared actively, and you're encouraged to be authentic. It feels good to be part of it.
We acknowledge each person’s uniqueness and stand committed to provide equitable chances for all. We strive for an inviting environment that respects the harmony between career goals and personal life.
At work, the genuine respect and having a supportive team makes me feel like myself. I appreciate the inclusive and safe environment here where we can share both a laugh and a commitment to our goals.
We are dependable and hold ourselves accountable. By promoting autonomy and encouraging early escalation of obstacles, we ensure clarity across our organization.
I can prioritize urgent actions, handle external communications proactively, and solve current issues before they become larger problems.
We are committed to continual growth; we embrace change and see every challenge as chance to learn. We are curious and we learn not only from our successes and setbacks, but also through shared experiences.
My first two managers here encouraged me to share my ideas, understand people, and prioritize outcomes over ticking off tasks. "What makes sense?" has since become my guide to do these things.
We are dedicated to delivering high-quality results, on time, always aiming for the successful completion of each task – it is only done once it ships. We are customer-centric, forward-thinking, and lean on data to guide our decisions.
I’m proudest when many different people have contributed to a mask design and the result is bigger than what a single person can deliver.
