C1s spectra are shown in Fig. S1(a). Comparison of the spectra before (green curve) and after annealing in Ar atmosphere at 1450 C (yellow curve) reveals that no surface carbon enrichment takes place upon annealing in argon atmosphere at this temperature. The surface remains stoichiometric with respect to Si:C ratio but strong step bunching is already observed as evident from fig. S1(b). Annealing at 1550 C in Ar (blue curve) leads to the onset of Si sublimation and subsequent C enrichment. As in the case of vacuum annealing, graphitization begins first with the formation of the 6 3 reconstruction buffer layer at T~1550 C. In UHV this stage is already reached at 1150 C (dotted curve). The buffer layer is structurally similar to graphene with the exception that -orbitals are covalently bound to the SiC substrate 1-3. In the C1s spectra the buffer layer gives rise to characteristic broad asymmetric peak 1 with a maximum at ev clearly identified in the spectrum obtained after annealing at 1150 C in UHV (dotted curve). In the spectrum of the Ar annealed sample (blue curve) an additional small peak at ev is due to the onset of graphene nucleation (~0.2 ML). Increasing the temperature to 1650 C in Ar (red curve) results in the formation of a graphene film with a thickness of 1.2 ML which is visible by the peak at ev. No difference in the C1s spectra is observed for graphene grown in vacuum (dashed curve) or argon environment (red curve). The signal due to the buffer layer residing at the interface between SiC and graphene is still distinctly visible as reported previously 1 for UHV growth. Submonolayer graphene samples were additionally investigated by AFM and LEEM (Fig. S2). A submonolayer coverage was achieved by shortening the annealing time from 15 min nature materials 1 1

2 supplementary information as described in the text to 3 min at temperature of 1650 C. Despite that very short annealing time the significant step bunching is observed already at this stage. For this sample the average terrace width increases by a factor of five as compared to the initial surface (see inset in Fig. S2(a)). Correspondingly, the average step height increases from 1.5 nm to 7.5 nm. The spatial distribution of graphene is shown in a LEEM micrograph in Fig. S2(b). The medium grey, light grey and dark grey regions correspond to the buffer layer, monolayer graphene and bilayer graphene, respectively. Graphene islands appear in the form of narrow stripes extending along the substrate steps. They are separated by wider regions covered with the buffer layer only. Apparently, the separation between adjacent graphene stripes correlates with the width of macroterraces. Interestingly, all graphene stripes have the same width of about 500 nm. In the AFM image a shallow depression about 4Å deep (marked by arrows) and of the same width is observed at the step edge of every terrace. The step height is consistent with the density arguments where decomposition of 3 layers of SiC (7.5 Å) is required to form a layer of graphene (3.3 Å). Hence, the nucleation of the first graphene layer takes place at the edges of the macrosteps of the substrate. Traces of bilayer graphene regions (~100 nm wide stripes) located at the very edge of the steps are also detected in LEEM. The formation of bilayer graphene is slower than that of a monolayer graphene. We explain this by the fact that the out-diffusion of Si from the interface is hampered by already existing graphene layers. In order to evaluate the insulating properties of the SiC substrate after processing all Hall bars had an additional test contact as shown in fig. S3. The leakage currents between these test contacts and the graphene Hall bars were determined for all structures and it was found to be at least six orders of magnitude smaller than the source-drain currents. In agreement with that we observed a strong asymmetry in the resistance on submonolayer samples such as that shown above. The resistance along the terraces was generally six orders of magnitude smaller than that measured perpendicular to the steps. Thus we conclude that our high temperature process does not significantly alter the conductivity of the substrate. The Raman spectra in the frequency region of the D- and G-line of graphene on SiC are overlayed by strong multi phonon signals from the SiC substrate (see fig. S4). Therefore, a suitable reference spectrum must be subtracted from the raw data 4. The procedure is illustrated in fig. S4. Figure S5 shows the temperature dependence of the electron mobility of Ar grown graphene measured in van der Pauw geometry. The linear (T) dependence is unexpected. Scattering at acoustic phonons of graphene would result in T -4 behavior at low temperatures 5. A theoretical treatment of the effect of static impurities in graphene predicts 1/T dependence of the mobility 6. Candidates for such impurities are certainly dangling bonds below the graphene layer. Also adsorbates might play a certain role. The linear dependence of the 2 nature MATERIALS

The spectra obtained on the SiC samples prepared in ultra high vacuum (UHV) are shown for comparison (dashed and dotted lines). The ratio of SiC bulk component to surface related components appears different to that shown in Fig 2(b) of the main text due to different excitation energy used (Here Al K, ev, main text 700 ev).
