Highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) was scribed by pulsed laser beam toproduce square patterns. Patterning of HOPG surface facilitates the detachmentof graphene layers during contact printing. Direct HOPG-to-substrate andglue-assisted stamp printing of a few-layers graphene was compared. Printedgraphene sheets were visualized by optical and scanning electron microscopy.The number of graphene layers was measured by atomic force microscopy.Glue-assisted stamp printing allows printing relatively large graphene sheets(40x40 microns) onto a silicon wafer, which can be important formicroelectronics fabrication. The presented method is easier to implement andis more flexible than the majority of existing ways of placing graphene sheetsonto a substrate.
