Magnetic two-dimensional (2D) materials have garnered significant attention for their potential to revolutionize 2D spintronics due to their unique magnetic properties. However, their air-sensitivity and highly insulating nature of the magnetic semiconductors present substantial challenges for device fabrication with effective contacts. In this study, we introduce a polycarbonate (PC)-assisted transfer method that effectively forms van der Waals (vdW) contacts with 2D materials, streamlining the fabrication process without the need for additional lithography. This method is particularly advantageous for air-sensitive magnetic materials, as demonstrated in Fe3GeTe2. It also ensures excellent interface contact quality and preserves the intrinsic magnetic properties in magnetic semiconductors like CrSBr. Remarkably, this method achieves a contact resistance four orders of magnitude lower than that achieved with traditional thermally evaporated electrodes in thin-layer CrSBr devices and enables the observation of sharp magnetic transitions similar to those observed with graphene vdW contacts. Compatible with standard dry-transfer processes and scalable to large wafer sizes, our approach provides a straightforward and effective solution for developing complex magnetic heterojunction devices and expanding the applications of magnetic 2D materials.
