Graphene exhibits unique electronic and mechanical properties making it a promising material for future quantum-electronic applications. However, state of the art graphene quantum dots fabricated on SiO2 substrates suffer from their poor quality due to a large disorder potential. Recently, it has been shown that placing graphene on hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) substantially reduces the disorder potential because of its atomically-flat graphene-like hexagonal structure. Here, we present the fabrication and characterization of single-layer graphene quantum dots on hBN substrates. In particular we show low-temperature transport measurements showing Coulomb diamonds with charging energies between 9 meV and 11 meV.
