New adhesive tape picks up and sticks down 2D materials as easily as child’s play

Science Daily  February 9, 2024 The use of graphene and other 2D materials to create electronic and optoelectronic devices has been limited by the lack of effective large-area transfer processes. An international team of researchers (South Korea, Japan) has developed a method that uses functional tapes with adhesive forces controlled by ultraviolet light. The adhesion of the tape was optimized for the transfer of monolayer graphene, providing a yield of over 99%. Once detached from the growth substrate, the graphene/tape stack enables easy transfer of graphene to the desired target substrate. The method could be used to transfer other 2D […]
