We report on the transport properties -- in particular charge carrier density, mobility, conductivity and magnetoconductance -- of high-quality single-layer graphene. Graphene was epitaxially grown on the silicon terminated face of a semi-insulating 6H silicon carbide substrate and then patterned into devices of different geometry and size. Large samples as well as submicrometer-sized Hall bars which are entirely lying on atomically flat substrate terraces yield similar transport properties confirming the uniformity of the epitaxial process. In high magnetic fields Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations with the distinct Landau level spectrum of single-layer graphene are clearly visible in samples with different charge carrier densities. When gated close to the Dirac point, the mobility increases substantially, and the graphene-like quantum Hall effect occurs. This proves that epitaxial graphene is ruled by the same pseudo-relativistic physics observed previously in exfoliated graphene.
