High quality graphene transfer is critical for preserving the extraordinary graphene properties. In this paper we report our progress on transferring graphene from different growth substrates. Our method is a dry transfer approach which exploits an azide linker molecule to establish a covalent bond to graphene. Successful transfer is observed when the adhesion between the graphene and the transfer substrate is higher than the graphene/growth substrate adhesion. Thus, this transfer technique provides a novel alternative route of graphene transfer. This work was supported by the Naval Research Laboratory Base Program.
