Si self-interstitials (Si$_{\text{i}}$), known as the transport vehicles for dopants~\cite{fahey89,stolk95}, get trapped by reacting with the carbon atoms~\cite{stolk97}.
Furthermore, carbon incorporated in silicon is being used to fabricate strained silicon~\cite{strane94,strane96,osten99} utilized in semiconductor industry for increased charge carrier mobilities in silicon~\cite{chang05,osten97} as well as to adjust its band gap~\cite{soref91,kasper91}.
