To realize nanomechanical graphene-based pressure and gas sensors, it is beneficial to have a method to electrically readout the static displacement of a suspended graphene membrane. Capacitive readout, typical in micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS), gets increasingly challenging as one starts shrinking the dimensions of these devices, since the expected responsivity of such devices is below 0.1 aF/Pa. To overcome the challenges of detecting small capacitance changes, we design an electrical readout device fabricated on top of an insulating quartz substrate, maximizing the contribution of the suspended membrane to the total capacitance of the device. The capacitance of the drum is further increased by reducing the gap size to 110 nm. Using external pressure load, we demonstrate successful detection of capacitance changes of a single graphene drum down to 50 aF, and pressure differences down to 25 mbar.
The high flexibility, impermeability and strength of graphene membranes are key properties that can enable the next generation of nanomechanical sensors. However, for capacitive pressure sensors the sensitivity offered by a single suspended graphene
Developing fast, accurate and scalable techniques for quantum state readout is an active area in semiconductor-based quantum computing. Here, we present results on dispersive sensing of silicon corner state quantum dots coupled to lumped-element elec

Over the past decade, capacitive deionization (CDI) has realized a surge in attention in the field of water desalination and can now be considered as an important technology class, along with reverse osmosis and electrodialysis. While many of the rec
On-chip temperature sensing on a micro- to nanometer scale is becoming more desirable as the complexity of nanodevices and size requirements increase and with it the challenges in thermal probing and management. This highlights the need for scalable
