Abstract

Worlds first graphene-based Pirani pressure sensor is presented. Due to the decreased area and low thickness, the graphene-based Pirani pressure sensor allows for low power applications down to 0.9 mW. Using an innovative, transfer-free process, suspended graphene beams are realized. This allows for up to 100x miniaturization of the pressure sensor area, while enabling wafer-scale fabrication. The response of the miniaturized pressure sensor is similar to that of the much larger state-of-the-art Si-based Pirani pressure sensors, demonstrating the potential of graphene-based Pirani sensors.
