A clean transfer approach to prepare centimetre-scale black phosphorus crystalline multilayers on silicon substrates for field-effect transistors

Recently reported direct growth of highly crystalline centimetre-sized black phosphorus (BP) thin films on mica substrates by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) has attracted considerable research interest. However, an effective and general transfer method to incorporate them into (opto-)electronic devices is still missing. Here, we show a wet transfer method utilizing ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) and an ethylene glycol (EG) solution to transfer high-crystalline large-area PLD-BP films onto SiO
