Ultraconformal Contact Transfer of Monolayer Graphene on Metal to Various Substrates

Abstract

The direct transfer method of large area monolayer CVD graphene from Cu foil to various substrates such as PET, PDMS, and glass is developed using mechano-electro-thermal forces based on ultraconformal contact without any metal etching process or additional carrier layers in a solid-state process. Transferred graphene presents both excellent quality (with no residues, few defects, or no folding) and remarkable mechanical and electrical stability.
