Most strategies involve the transfer of graphene sheets onto silicon, with the inherent difficulties of clean transfer and subsequent graphene nano-patterning that degrades considerably the electronic mobility of nanopatterned graphene. Epitaxial graphene (EG) by contrast is grown on an essentially perfect crystalline (semi-insulating) surface, and graphene nanostructures with exceptional properties have been realized by a selective growth process on tailored SiC surface that requires no graphene patterning. However, the temperatures required in this structured growth process are too high for silicon technology. Here we demonstrate a new graphene to Si integration strategy, with a bonded and interconnected compact double-wafer structure. Using silicon-on-insulator technology (SOI) a thin monocrystalline silicon layer ready for CMOS processing is applied on top of epitaxial graphene on SiC. The parallel Si and graphene platforms are interconnected by metal vias. This method inspired by the industrial development of 3d hyper-integration stacking thin-film electronic devices preserves the advantages of epitaxial graphene and enables the full spectrum of CMOS processing.</p>]]></body>

  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never
         revisit them. It's as though the act of writing the thing down frees me
         from the responsibility to actually solve the problem. But what can I
         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
