mGFET-4D for Sensing applications

mGFET-4D (4 mm x 4 mm) - Processed in ISO 7 Cleanroom

The mGFET 4x4 chip from Graphenea is designed for sensing applications, and it is compatible with measurements in a liquid medium. The metal pads are passivated to avoid degradation and reduce leakage currents. It also includes a non-encapsulated electrode at the center of the chip, which allows for 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.
This version provides 28 graphene channels: 7 of them are one-channel devices and 7 of them are three-channel devices. These two geometries add flexibility to the measurement scheme (ΔVD or ΔIsd). The die is packaged and wirebonded to a leadless chip carrier (LCC) and it is fully compatible with the Graphenea Card
