  • Massive fabrication of graphene devices is required to take advantage of the promise of this novel material. Photolithography is the most efficient patterning technology. However, several new challenges arise when patterning graphene. First, lithography processes rely on organic photoresists whose residue adversely affects graphene’s transport properties. In addition, graphene is further deteriorated by the lift-off process, which partly derives from the low adhesion between graphene and the substrate. Finally, photolithography cannot exploit the flexibility of graphene, i.e. it restricts graphene on the certain flat substrates.
    We here demonstrate a novel fabrication process that retains the flexibility of graphene and preserves the quality of graphene. Our idea is to take advantage of the good adhesion between graphene and the growth substrate. In this method, all photolithographic patterns of graphene and metal have been created before transferring to target substrates. This approach is compatible with exotic and three-dimensional substrates.
    The photolithographical patterning is based on an initially deposited aluminum hard mask. This approach is shown to achieve a higher quality of graphene as characterized through transport measurement, Raman spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).
