Bifacial Multilayer Graphene Float Transfer
Abstract
Abstract A method for graphene transfer which is referred to as “bifacial transfer” that allows transfer of multilayer chemical vapor deposition (CVD) graphene from both sides of a native metal substrate, such as an as‐received nickel catalyst, is presented. In traditional transfer methods, the graphene on the “non‐preferred” side, that is, the bottom of the substrate, is removed with oxygen plasma before removal of the metal catalyst in etchant solution. Although this treatment prevents undesired aggregation of the graphene films, it fails to utilize both sides of CVD‐grown graphene. The bifacial transfer method reduces the cost of multilayer graphene by allowing the transfer of graphene from both sides of the substrate. The quality of graphene transferred from both sides onto target glass and polymer substrates is compared. The results of optical microscopy, confocal Raman spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, and electronic transport measurements suggest that the quality of the multilayer graphene on the “non‐preferred” side does not differ significantly from that of the “preferred” side. This method will allow more efficient and cost‐effective use of graphene by doubling the usable graphene per area of growth substrate, and by eliminating the need for intermediate sacrificial transfer substrates such as poly(methyl methacrylate).
