METHODS FOR TRANSFERRING GRAPHENE TO SUBSTRATES AND RELATED LITHOGRAPHIC STACKS AND LAMINATES

Methods for transferring graphene to substrates include at least a method for transferring a graphene-metal bilayer to a substrate to form a laminate thereof. The method can include applying a first continuous polymer layer to a graphene layer of the graphene-metal bilayer; applying a first discontinuous polymer layer to the first continuous polymer layer; applying a second continuous polymer layer to a metal layer of the graphene-metal bilayer; applying a second discontinuous polymer layer to the second continuous polymer layer; etching the first continuous polymer layer with a first etchant through the first discontinuous polymer layer; laminating the substrate by pressing the face of the graphene layer into a surface of the substrate; etching the second continuous polymer layer with a second etchant through the second discontinuous polymer layer, thereby transferring the graphene-metal bilayer to the substrate to form the laminate.
