Next-generation sensing powered by graphene and TMDCs

The 2D Pilot Line is advancing next-generation sensor technologies by harnessing graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides’ (TMDCs) unique electronic properties to enable ultrasensitive detection, fast response times and low-power operation. From point-of-care diagnostics to wearable devices, our sensor platforms offer versatile solutions for chemical, biological, optical and physical sensing. Designed with industrial integration in mind, they combine flexibility and transparency with the potential for cost-competitive performance, scalable semiconductor manufacturing and biocompatible, tin-free device architectures. Come learn about the project's latest offerings at IEEE Sensors 2026, to be held in Rotterdam, The Netherlands from 25-28 October 2026.

From the 2D-PL

Graphenea's graphene FET on silicon

This wafer contains Graphene Field Effect Transistors (GFET) fabricated on an SiO2/Si wafer. The wafer represents the final result of the production process of graphene-based devices: after the dicing process, every die of this wafer will be ready to be integrated as a functional component, such as a biosensor. 

Graphene-based biosensors exhibit several advantages with respect to their conventional, commercialised counterparts (e.g., calorimetric, gravimetric or optical biosensors). They are cheap, easy to design and produce, and show unique capabilities, like the detection of cancer biomarkers at extremely low concentrations in ambulatories, avoiding invasive procedures or hospitalisation. 

AMO's graphene-based electronic test structures

This wafer features graphene-based electronic test structures, including TLM patterns, Hall bars and four-point probe devices, distributed across the entire wafer. These enable precise evaluation of contact resistance, carrier mobility and sheet resistance, while providing wafer-scale insights into uniformity and reliability. The feedback from these measurements drives continuous process improvements and performance optimisation, accelerating the integration of two-dimensional materials (2DMs) into advanced semiconductor technologies. By using two-dimensional materials (2DMs), such as graphene, we can overcome the limitations of conventional semiconductors, providing next-generation electronics with superior electrical performance, scalability and energy efficiency.

Melexis’ integrated GFET-on-CMOS biosensing platform

Melexis presents a prototype of its novel integrated Graphene Field-Effect Transistor (GFET) biosensing platform, designed to enable fast, multiplexed and accurate biomarker quantification within a compact form factor. By leveraging the unique properties of 2D materials combined with an innovative graphene readout concept, this platform is set to drive breakthroughs in healthcare, diagnostics and environmental monitoring.

This IC monolithically integrates 16x16 individual GFET biosensors with CMOS readout circuitry within a 5x5 mm² die. The array supports both liquid and back gating, enabling in-liquid biosensing as well as gas sensing applications. To maximise versatility, multiple readout modes are available through a SPI interface, including a high-resolution, real-time tracking mode of the average graphene Dirac position, which tackle fundamental challenges in FET-based biosensing
