The integration of dissimilar materials into heterostructures has become a powerful tool for engineering interfaces and electronic structure. The advent of two-dimensional (2D) materials brought unprecedented opportunities for novel heterostructures in the form of van der Waals stacks, laterally stitched 2D layers, and more complex layered and 3D architectures. This Primer provides an overview of state-of-the-art methodologies for producing such van der Waals heterostructures, focusing on the two fundamentally different strategies, top-down deterministic assembly and bottom-up synthesis. For both approaches, successful techniques, advantages, and limitations are discussed. As important as the fabrication itself is the characterization of the resulting engineered materials, for which a range of analysis techniques covering structure, composition, and emerging functionality are highlighted. Examples of the properties of artificial van der Waals structures include optoelectronics and plasmonics, twistronics, and unique functionality arising from the generalization of van der Waals assembly from 2D- to 3D-crystalline components. Lastly, current issues of reproducibility, limitations, and opportunities for future breakthroughs in terms of enhanced homogeneity, interfacial purity, feature control, and ultimately orders of magnitude increased complexity of van der Waals heterostructures are discussed.
