By CVD, both, the 3C \cite{kong88,powell90} as well as the 6H \cite{kong88_2,powell90_2} polytype could be successfully grown. -In order to obtain the homoepitactically grown 6H polytype, off-axis 6H-SiC wafers are required as a substrate \cite{ueda90,kimoto93}. +In order to obtain the homoepitactically grown 6H polytype, off-axis 6H-SiC wafers are required as a substrate \cite{kimoto93}. %In the so called step-controlled epitaxy, lateral growth proceeds from atomic steps without the necessity of preceding nucleation events. Investigations indicate that in the so-called step-controlled epitaxy, crystal growth proceeds through the adsorbtion of Si species at atomic steps and their carbonization by hydrocarbon molecules. This growth mechanism does not require two-dimensional nucleation. Instead, crystal growth is governed by mass transport, i.e. the diffusion of reactants in a stagnant layer. In contrast, layers of the 3C polytype are formed on exactly oriented \hkl(0 0 0 1) 6H-SiC substrates by two-dimensional nucleation on terraces. -Lateral 3C-SiC growth was also observed on on low tilt angle off-axis substrates ... by dislocations \cite{powell91} ... used to lower APB density due to controlled starting points of 3C-SiC growth ... +However, lateral 3C-SiC growth was also observed on low tilt angle off-axis substrates originating from intentionally induced dislocations \cite{powell91}. +Additionally, 6H-SiC was observed on clean substrates even for a tilt angle as low as \unit[0.1]{$^{\circ}$} due to low surface mobilities that facilitate arriving molecules to reach surface steps. +Thus, 3C nucleation is assumed as a result of migrating Si and C cointaining molecules interacting with surface disturbances by a yet unknown mechanism, in contrast to a model \cite{ueda90}, in which the competing 6H versus 3C growth depends on the density of surface steps. + +MBE ... advantages ... and so on ... \section{Ion beam synthesis of cubic silicon carbide}
