The disclosure relates to a method for producing a sequencing unit for sequencing a biochemical material. In this case, at least one sequencing pore for sequencing the biochemical material in a precursor layer is created in a thermal lithography process in order to produce a pre-structured layer. The pre-structured layer is then converted into a graphene layer by heating to a conversion temperature in order to produce the sequencing unit. The sequencing pore is reduced to a size suitable for sequencing, depending on the transformation temperature.

The disclosure relates to a process for producing a base of an analysis cell for analyzing a biochemical material. Here, carbon-rich precursor molecules and low-carbon precursor molecules are deposited on a substrate in a defined mixing ratio in order to form a precursor layer, wherein the low-carbon precursor molecules have a defined size and a hydrophobic end group. In a further step, the precursor layer is post-treated in a suitable manner in order to produce the base as a layer with at least one pore having a pore size dependent on the defined size and a pore count dependent on the defined mixing ratio.
