Can we say that a technology is mature?

I would say so, yes. :wink:

If you were to use it, what do you think it would mean?

I want to say that the technology is full-grown / well-established / developed.

Do you think this sentence well-built?

This material has been extensively studied for many years because of its tailored electronic properties and compatibility with mature silicon fabrication technology.

Quick Google Check - Apparently this is some sort of "industry phrase" or collocation/expression of sorts.

"The technology is mature."
