Résumé:

T he main obstacle to the use of graphene on the industrial scale is the growth of a large and homogenous monolayer graphene Concerning this issue, it is worthnoting that our group has recently developed a reproducible and controlled growth process of a monolayer graphene on SiC 0001 by sublimation at low Ar pressure i e 10 mbar Still, the control of the electronic properties of the obtained graphene by this process is very challenging E g the mobility on our graphene on 4 H SiC (0001) is around 2000 cm 2 v 1 s 1 at RT which is in the range of the measured mobilities on similar substrates Yet, it is still very low when compared with the mobilities reported for suspended graphene. It is well acceptedthat the electronic properties of graphene on SiC are highly sensitive to the substrate underneath It was reported that the mobility of graphene on SiC 0001 increases with increasing SiC steps width, and its resistance increases with increasing SiC steps height. This means that the electronic properties of graphene on SiC 0001 can be tuned by controlling the height and width of the terraces that results from the surface reconstruction of SiC before the growth i e Step bunching phenomenon
