We report selective area growth of large area homogeneous Bernal stacked bilayer epitaxial graphene (BLEG) on 4H-SiC (0001) substrate by electron-beam irradiation. Sublimation of Si occurs by energetic electron irradiations on SiC surface via breaking of Si-C bonds in the localized region, which allows the selective growth of graphene. Raman measurements ensure the formation of homogeneous BLEG with weak compressive strain of -0.08%. The carrier mobility of large area BLEG is similar to 5100 cm(2) V-1 s(-1) with a sheet carrier density of 2.2 x 10(13) cm(-2). Current-voltage measurements reveal that BLEG on 4H-SiC forms a Schottky junction with an operation at mA level. Our study reveals that the barrier height at the Schottky junction is low (similar to 0.58 eV) due to the Fermi-level pinning above the Dirac point. (C) 2014 AIP Publishing LLC.
