Abstract

Epitaxial growth of graphene layers on 6H-SiC(0001) substrates have been studied in order to improve graphene's performance for metrological applications. A face-to-face (FTF) sublimation method at 2000 °C and in Ar background atmosphere is used to inhibit the rates of SiC decomposition and Si sublimation and as a means of controlling the graphene layer development. Sample surface morphology and its relation to changes in the growth conditions are described.
