Device Technologies Enabled by 2D Materials
Uniquely
contamination-free graphene.
Manufactured with our proprietary direct-to-substrate metal-free MOCVD process at wafer scale in our UK foundry.
Paired with our fab services available for products specified by partners and customers. Currently in applications including graphene field effect transistors (GFETs) for molecular sensing, graphene magnetic sensors for field diagnostics, monitoring & control, and many other electronics spaces.
The Purity of Direct-Growth MOCVD
Traditional Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) requires graphene to be
grown on copper and transferred to a substrate, resulting in structural
fractures, polymer (PMMA) residues, and metal contamination. Paragraf
has solved the graphene scaling problem.
Traditional CVD
- Transfer damage
- PMMA residues
- Metal contamination
- Process variability
Paragraf MOCVD
- Direct substrate growth
- Pristine graphene lattice
- Contamination free
- Wafer-scale consistency
| Graphene Property | MOCVD Advantage | Device Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Electrical Properties | High mobility, contamination-free | High sensitivity |
| Material Stability | Robust, defect-free | Extreme environment reliability |
| Uniformity | Wafer-scale consistency | Repeatability & scalability |
| Optical Transparency | Preserved by defect-free graphene | Optical + electrical integration |
Overcoming the Limits of Legacy Sensing
Digital Molecular Sensing
Medtech
Nanomolar detection limits. Low power, small geometry, and instant results, making it ideal for POC and in-field use. Label-free binding affinity.
Environmental Monitoring
Eliminate the evaporation and drift of legacy liquid sensors. Continuous, IoT-connected monitoring for emerging PFAS and trace metals.
Food & Beverage
Rapid, factory-floor detection of pathogens and spoilage without complex sample prep. Operates reliably in complex matrices.
Agritech
Environmental resistance for deployment of smart sensors in highly acidic soils and livestock rumens.
Magnetic Field Mapping
