Abstract

Provided are method and apparatus for transferring graphene. The graphene transferring method includes: a graphene synthesizing operation comprising forming at least one layer of graphene on at least one surface of a catalyst metal film; a substrate film attaching operation comprising contacting an adhesive first surface of the substrate film to the at least one layer of graphene and compressing the catalyst metal film and the substrate film by using a first roller; and a substrate film separating operation comprising separating the substrate film from the catalyst metal film such that the at least one layer of graphene is separated from the catalyst metal film together with the substrate film.

Claims (16)

1. A graphene transferring apparatus comprising:

a catalyst metal film, on at least one surface of which a plurality of layers of graphene formed, wherein the catalyst metal film is transported in a predetermined direction;

a first unwinding reel which unwinds a substrate film having an adhesive first surface around the first unwinding reel;

a first roller that presses the substrate film toward the catalyst metal film so that the adhesive first surface of the substrate film which is unwound from the first unwinding reel is adhered to an outermost layer of the plurality of the layers of graphene;

a first winding reel that separates the substrate film from the catalyst metal film that has passed through the first roller and winds the separated substrate film; and

a third unwinding reel which unwinds a substrate film having an adhesive first surface around the third unwinding reel;

a fifth roller that compresses a third substrate film unwound from the third unwinding reel against the catalyst metal film, from which the substrate film unwound from the first unwinding reel is separated; and

a third winding reel that separates the third substrate film from the catalyst metal film that has passed the fifth roller and winds the third substrate film.

2. The graphene transferring apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of layers of graphene are formed on both surfaces of the catalyst metal film, and

wherein the graphene transferring apparatus further comprises:

a second unwinding reel which unwinds a substrate film having an adhesive first surface around the second unwinding reel;

a second roller that presses the substrate film toward the catalyst metal film so that the adhesive first surface of the substrate film which is unwound from the second unwinding reel is adhered to at least one layer of the plurality of layers of graphene; and

a second winding reel that separates the substrate film from the catalyst metal film that has passed the second roller and winds the separated substrate film.

3. The graphene transferring apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a third roller that presses the substrate film between the first roller and the first winding reel toward the catalyst metal film.

4. The graphene transferring apparatus of claim 3 , further comprising a fourth roller that presses the substrate film and the catalyst metal film,

wherein the substrate film and the catalyst metal film are disposed between the third roller and the fourth roller.
