Company profile
Paragraf
Cambridgeshire company manufacturing graphene-based electronic devices and sensors using semiconductor-compatible production methods.
Company overview
Paragraf is a manufacturer of graphene-based electronic devices, founded as a spin-out from the University of Cambridge in 2018. The company states it is the first to mass-produce such devices using standard semiconductor processes. Its proprietary graphene growth process is used to create products including Graphene Hall Sensors (GHS), Graphene Field-Effect Transistors (GFETs), and molecular sensors. These components are designed for applications in markets such as automotive, quantum computing, cryogenics, healthcare, and industrial automation. Paragraf also offers custom 2D material foundry services. The company operates from its headquarters and R&D labs in Somersham, Cambridgeshire, and has a graphene foundry in nearby Huntingdon. It has raised approximately $140 million in funding and maintains an office in San Diego, USA.
