Problem
Many existing electronic devices face limitations in sensitivity, accuracy, and operational range, particularly in extreme conditions like cryogenics or applications requiring precise molecule detection. Traditional manufacturing methods for graphene-based devices often introduce contaminants that compromise performance and reliability.
Solution
Paragraf addresses these challenges by manufacturing graphene-based electronic devices, including Graphene Field-Effect Transistors (GFETs) and Graphene Hall Sensors (GHS), using a proprietary, contamination-free direct graphene deposition technology. This method ensures a homogeneous electric field for molecule sensing and enables high sensitivity and accuracy in magnetic field detection, even at cryogenic temperatures. Paragraf's GFETs and GHS devices enhance performance in diverse applications, such as biosensing, chemical sensing, quantum computing, electric vehicle safety, and general magnetic field measurement. The company also offers custom 2D foundry services for creating next-generation solid-state devices and VLSI circuits with 2D materials.
