▎ 摘  要

This paper deals with design and fabrication of graphene micro-Hall devices along with driving and processing electronics to construct a highly sensitive graphene magnetometer system. Graphene micro-Hall elements were fabricated by implementing microfabrication techniques. Custom driving and processing circuitry was designed and built on a printed circuit board and integrated with fabricated graphene Hall devices; reducing the offset equivalent magnetic field and greatly improving the sensitivity. The performance parameters were quantitatively analyzed for characterizing the sensitivity in terms of linearity, current-related sensitivity, and magnetic field resolution. The potential of graphene magnetometers for detection capability of low fields has been demonstrated with a current related sensitivity of 2540 V/AT and magnetic field resolution of 162 nT/root Hz.
