| The paper describes the design, development, and investigation of a new type of Hall-effect sensors of a magnetic field made of graphene. The epitaxial growth of high-quality graphene structures was performed using a standard hot-wall CVD reactor, which allows for easy integration with an existing semiconductors production technologies. The functional properties of developed Hall-effect sensors based on graphene were investigated on special experimental setup utilizing Helmholtz coils as a source of reference magnetic field. Monolayer and quasi-free-standing bilayer graphene structures were tested. Results presented in the paper indicate that graphene is very promising material for development of Hall-effect sensors. Developed graphene Hall-effect sensor exhibit highly linear characteristics and high magnetic field sensitivity. |
