- Monolayer graphene is a promising material for a wide range of applications, including sensors, optoelectronics, antennas, EMR shielding, flexible electronics, and conducting electrodes. Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of carbon atoms on a metal catalyst is the most scalable and cost-efficient method for synthesizing high-quality, large-area monolayer graphene. The usual method of transferring the CVD graphene from the catalyst to a target substrate involves a polymer carrier which is dissolved after the transfer process is completed. Due to often unavoidable damage to graphene, as well as contamination and residues, carrier mobilities are typically 1000–3000 cm2(Vs)−1, unless complex and elaborate measures are taken. Here, we report on a simple scalable fabrication method for flexible graphene field-effect transistors that eliminates the polymer interim carrier, by laminating the graphene directly onto office lamination foils, removing the catalyst, and depositing Parylene N as a gate dielectric and encapsulation layer. The fabricated transistors show field- and Hall-effect mobilities of 7000–10 000 cm2(Vs)−1 with a residual charge-carrier density of 2×1011 1 cm−2 at room temperature. We further validate the material quality by terahertz time-domain spectroscopy and observation of the quantum Hall effect at low temperatures in a moderate magnetic field of ∼5 T. The Parylene encapsulation provides long-term stability and protection against additional lithography steps, enabling vertical device integration in multilayer electronics on a flexible platform.

- We demonstrate the realization of reliable, high-quality, micro-sized graphene-based field-effect devices on a flexible and transparent substrate, ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA)/polyethylene terephthalate (PET), using a convenient hot-press lamination transfer and employing parylene-N as a dielectric material for gating. Using this technique, we fabricate a graphene thermocouple on the EVA/PET substrate. Specifically, the graphene is patterned in a U-shape, and its legs are equipped with two independent top gates. Full control of the carrier density and type by electrostatic gating in the two graphene regions allow the formation of a thermocouple layout, exhibiting an enlarged thermovoltage signal when the two regions are doped with opposite types of carriers and leading to a maximum sensitivity with a thermopower of ∼73 µV/K. This agrees well with the working principle of thermocouple, and it proves the good compatibility and functionality of the graphene thermocouple on the EVA/PET substrate. Our findings suggest possible applications for producing scalable and reliable graphene-based electronic devices on flexible and transparent substrates in a simple way.
