Abstract We report a universal transfer methodology for producing artificial heterostructures of large-area freestanding single-crystalline WTe$_{2}$ membranes on diverse target substrates. The transferred WTe$_{2}$ membranes exhibit a nondestructive structure with a carrier mobility comparable to that of as-grown films ($\sim $179–1055 cm$^{2}$$\cdot$V$^{-1}$$\cdot$s$^{-1}$). Furthermore, the transferred membranes show distinct Shubnikov–de Haas quantum oscillations as well as weak localization/weak anti-localization. These results provide a new approach to the development of atom manufacturing and devices based on atomic-level, large-area topological quantum films.
