Surface Si depletion of hexagonal SiC offers the possibility of producing high-quality graphene directly on an insulating substrate. However, while on the Si-face monolayer graphene can be prepared on a large area, on the C-face a precise control over the number of layers is hard to be achieved. Nevertheless, even films with many carbon layers behave like decoupled monolayer graphene sheets on C-face SiC, potentially offering higher electron mobilities than graphene layers on Si-face SiC. We investigated the influence of the growth conditions, i.e. temperature, growth time and environment (Argon, vacuum, enclosed space) on the growth of epitaxial graphene on C-face SiC. The quality of the resulting layers is investigated by means of atomic force microscopy, Raman spectroscopy and magnetotransport measurements. This work aims to offer a guideline for reproducible production of uniform and high-quality graphene sheets.
