AB  - The direct transfer of graphene using polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) stamping has 
      advantages such as a 'pick-and-place' capability and no chemical residue 
      problems. However, it is not easy to apply direct PDMS stamping to graphene grown 
      via chemical vapor deposition on rough, grainy metal surfaces due to poor contact 
      between the PDMS and graphene. In this study, graphene consisting of a mixture of 
      monolayers and multiple layers grown on a rough Ni surface was directly 
      transferred without the use of an adhesive layer. Liquid PDMS was cured on 
      graphene to effect a conformal contact with the graphene. A fast release of 
      graphene from substrate was achieved by carrying out wet-etching-assisted 
      mechanical peeling. We also carried out a thermal post-curing of PDMS to control 
      the level of adhesion between PDMS and graphene and hence facilitate a 
      damage-free release of the graphene. Characterization of the transferred graphene 
      by micro-Raman spectroscopy, SEM/EDS and optical microscopy showed neither cracks 
      nor contamination from the transfer. This technique allows a fast and simple 
      transfer of graphene, even for multilayer graphene grown on a rough surface.
