L.Krishna Kumar, RoshanGrapheneSF6 etchinghBN etchingVan der Waals heterostructure2D materialData includes AFM, Raman, and Transport measurements of graphene heterostructures before and after etching with SF6.Van der Waals heterostructures are at the forefront in materials heterostructure engineering, offering the ultimate control in layer selectivity and capability to combine virtually any material. Hexagonal-boron nitride, the most commonly used dielectric material, has proven indispensable in this field, allowing the encapsulation of active 2D materials preserving their exceptional electronic quality. However, not all device applications require full encapsulation but rather require open surfaces, or even selective patterning of hBN layers. Here, we report on a procedure to engineer top hBN layers within van der Waals heterostructures while preserving the underlying active 2D layers. Using a soft selective SF6 etching combined with a series of pre and post-etching treatments, we demonstrate that pristine surfaces can be exposed with atomic flatness while preserving the active layers’ electronic quality. We benchmark our technique using graphene/hBN Hall bar devices. Using Raman spectroscopy combined with quantum transport, we show high quality can be preserved in etched regions by demonstrating low temperature carrier mobilities > 200,000 cm2/Vs, ballistic transport probed through magnetic focusing, and intrinsic room temperature phonon-limited mobilities. Atomic force microscopy brooming and O2 plasma cleaning are identified as key pre-etching steps to obtaining pristine open surfaces while preserving electronic quality. The technique provides a clean method for opening windows into mesoscopic van der Waals devices that can be used for local probe experiments, patterning top hBN in-situ, and exposing 2D layers to their environment for sensing applications.Peer reviewedZenodoAgarwal, Hitesh [0000-0002-9418-7966]Reserbat-Plantey, Antoine [0000-0002-9106-8750]Barcons Ruiz, David [0000-0002-6271-2244]Soundarapandian, Karuppasamy [0000-0002-9664-9095]Stepanov, Petr [0000-0002-1121-3146]Koppens, Frank H.
