Abstract

van der Waals two-dimensional materials and heterostructures combined with polymer films continue to attract research attention to elucidate their functionality and potential applications. This study presents the fabrication and mechanical testing of 2D material heterostacks, consisting of few-layer boron nitride and graphene heterostructures synthesized via chemical vapor deposition, capped with a polymethyl methacrylate layer and suspended across similar to 200 mu m wide trenches using a combined wet-dry transfer method. The mechanical characterization of the heterostacks was performed using two independent approaches: (a) non-local testing with a custom-built tensile testing platform and (b) local load-displacement testing employing atomic force microscopy probes, complemented by finite element simulations. Both approaches provided new results, which are in good agreement with each other. Overall, our findings offer new insights into a combined load capacity in complex multi-material two-dimensional systems, and can contribute to advancing micro and nano-scale device designs and implementations.Mechanical properties of large area suspended few-layer graphene/boron nitride/polymer heterostacks are studied here with local, (AFM-assisted) and non-local (tensile testing) approaches and complemented by finite element simulations.
