Using the recently developed technique of microsoldering [1], we perform a systematic transport study of the influence of PMMA on graphene flakes revealing a doping effect of up to Δn = 3.8×1012 cm−2, but a negligible influence on mobility and gate voltage induced hysteresis. Moreover, we show that the microsoldered graphene is free of contamination and exhibits a very similar intrinsic rippling as has been found for lithographically contacted flakes. Finally, we demonstrate a current induced closing of the previously found phonon gap appearing in scanning tunneling spectroscopy experiments, strongly non-linear features at higher bias probably caused by vibrations of the flake and a B-field induced double peak attributed to the 0. Landau level of graphene.
