GFET-S21P (Die size 10 mm x 10 mm) - Processed in Clean Room Class 1000
The GFET S-21P chip from Graphenea is designed for measurements in liquid medium. The new version provides 12 graphene devices connected in parallel, with encapsulation on the metal pads to avoid degradation and reduce leakage currents; the probe pads are located near the periphery of the chip. It also includes a non-encapsulated electrode at the center of the chip, which allows liquid gating without the need of an external gate electrode (such as Ag/AgCl probes). This device architecture enhances signal-to-noise ratio and reduces parasitics. It also removes device-to-device variation, smoothing device response and improving reliability.
