范德华（vdW）异质结构为探索新兴量子现象提供了多功能平台，然而其制备常受限于界面污染以及与表面敏感表征技术的不兼容性。在此，我们展示了白云母云母作为一种无聚合物平台，用于组装和图案化vdW异质结构器件。云母介导的转移能够实现清洁的暴露表面，在温和热退火后适用于原子分辨扫描隧道显微镜（STM）表征，无需剧烈的后处理步骤。云母还可作为机械稳健的支撑体用于顺序拾取组装，消除了中间释放步骤。此外，剥离的云母薄片可作为接触沉积的可移除阴影掩模，无需传统光刻即可实现简便的图案化。我们量化了云母介导的石墨烯拾取的温度依赖性，并展示了使用该方法制备的三端石墨烯/六方氮化硼（hBN）器件中的栅极依赖输运特性。通过将转移、顺序组装和接触图案化集成于单一材料平台，云母为表面敏感光谱学和量子器件应用提供了一条简单易行的无封装vdW异质结构制备途径。
英文摘要
Van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures provide a versatile platform for exploring emergent quantum phenomena, yet their fabrication is often limited by interfacial contamination and incompatibility with surface-sensitive characterization. Here, we demonstrate muscovite mica as a polymer-free platform for assembling and patterning vdW heterostructure devices. Mica-mediated transfer enables clean exposed surfaces suitable for atomic-resolution scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) following mild thermal annealing, without aggressive post-processing. Mica also serves as a mechanically robust support for sequential pickup assembly, eliminating intermediate release steps. Furthermore, exfoliated mica flakes function as removable shadow masks for contact deposition, enabling straightforward patterning without conventional lithography. We quantify the temperature dependence of mica-mediated graphene pickup and demonstrate gate-dependent transport in a three-terminal graphene/hBN device fabricated using the approach. By integrating transfer, sequential assembly, and contact patterning within a single materials platform, mica provides a simple and accessible route to unencapsulated vdW heterostructures for surface-sensitive spectroscopy and quantum-device applications.
