We developed a simple method for the covalent immobilization of graphene films on solid substrates using a heterobifunctional coupling agent. The films were robustly attached to the substrate, withstanding extensive solvent extraction and sonication. Large sheets of single and few-layer graphene films were fabricated and characterized with Raman, AFM, and XPS. The method is readily applicable for the fabrication of graphene microarrays. Transistors were also constructed with these materials. The device performance with regard to surface and interface properties will be discussed in this presentation.
