This paper presents the design, fabrication, and characterization of a sub-milliwatt graphene-based micro thermal conductivity detector (µTCD) that utilizes a suspended multilayer graphene (MLG) bridge to sense volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the gas phase based on their thermal transport properties. The graphene bridge is transferred onto a silicon chip with integrated microchannels using a photolithography-free process. By incorporating microchannel designs, this approach enables precise transfer of suspended MLG dimensions without conventional patterning steps. A key innovation of this work lies in the use of an ultra-low thermal mass suspended graphene architecture, which significantly increases temperature rise per unit input power, thereby enhancing sensitivity per unit power compared to conventional metal-based TCDs. The fabricated µTCD successfully produces chromatograms of multiple VOC species, closely matching those obtained using a standard flame ionization detector (FID). The device demonstrates an estimated limit of detection (LOD) of 190 ppm while consuming an average power of 151 µW under DC operation.
