Paragraf's Graphene Hall-Effect Sensors Open the Wallets of High-Tech Investors
activities, as well as its manufacturing capabilities.
Graphene is a long-awaited alternative to silicon in the electronics
devices market as it's one of the most conductive materials in
the world. It is incredibly strong yet flexible, capable of withstanding
very high electrical powers, with great thermal integrity. Paragraf
is pioneering a scalable approach to graphene electronic
device manufacturing with novel contamination-free technology.
Hall-Effect sensing is a sizeable business. Used to detect magnetic
fields in many industries, it is estimated to be valued in the
range of $1 billion-plus globally. So it should come as no surprise
when an upstart player that could disrupt the current market
while opening it to even more applications becomes prized by
the investment community. Enter UK-based Paragraf, a spin-out
from the research labs of Cambridge University.
A developer of two-dimensional graphene Hall-Effect sensors
that bring new levels of precision to the market, Paragraf is
catching the wallets of high-tech investors as it gears up to bring
its technology to medical device and diagnostic companies while
expanding its manufacturing infrastructure. A recent roundup of
$60 million is destined to boost its research and development

The company's graphene Hall-Effect sensors are already being
used in diverse applications across the aerospace, semiconductor,
healthcare, automotive, scientific research, industrial and
quantum computing spaces. Integration of the high purity 2D graphene
allows the sensors to deliver unrivalled measurements,
sensing, and control in ultra-high resolution magnetic field sensing
and positioning applications, says the company. They can
be used across a wide range of operating conditions including
ambient, high temperature and cryogenic environments.
" Our increasing desire for continually improving
electronic device performance
paired with the absolute necessity to reduce
our power requirements, and hence
carbon footprints, demand new technology
solutions - next generation materials will be
at the heart of this, " said Simon Thomas,
CEO and co-founder upon the recent financing.
" At Paragraf we are proud to be
leading the way, bringing the first 2D material,
graphene, into the electronic product
supply chain, through our first products, alDr.
