Epitaxial graphene (EG) on SiC has been proven to be an excellent material to investigate the fundamental physical properties of graphene and also to directly implement new findings into devices realized on the versatile platform of SiC. Within this framework, this work aims to review some of the recent major achievements accomplished in the field of EG on SiC, related to the growth of EG on the SiC(0 0 0 1) surface, the control of its doping level, the decoupling of the graphene from the substrate and the intercalation of foreign atomic species at the interface.
