The $(3\times 2)$ superstructure contains approximately 1.7 monolayers of Si atoms, crystallizing into 3C-SiC with a smooth and mirror-like surface after C$_2$H$_6$ is inserted accompanied by a reconstruction of the surface into the initial C terminated $(2\times 2)$ pattern. A minimal growth rate of 2.3 monolayers per cycle exceeding the value of 1.7 is due to physically adsorbed Si atoms not contributing to the superstructure. -To realize single monolayer growth precise control of the gas supply to form the $(2\times 1)$ structure is required. +To realize single monolayer growth, precise control of the gas supply to form the $(2\times 1)$ structure is required. However, accurate layer-by-layer growth is achieved under certain conditions, which facilitate the spontaneous desorption of an additional layer of one atom species by supply of the other species~\cite{hara93}. Homoepitaxial growth of the 6H polytype has been realized on off-oriented substrates utilizing simultaneous supply of the source gases~\cite{tanaka94}. Depending on the gas flow ratio either 3C island formation or step flow growth of the 6H polytype occurs, which is explained by a model including aspects of enhanced surface mobilities of adatoms on a $(3\times 3)$ reconstructed surface. @@ -291,10 +291,10 @@ As expected, single-crystalline layers were achieved for an increased temperatur However, these layers show an extremely poor interface to the Si top layer governed by a high density of SiC precipitates, which are not affected in the C redistribution during annealing and, thus, responsible for the rough interface. Hence, to obtain sharp interfaces and single-crystalline SiC layers temperatures between \unit[400]{$^{\circ}$C} and \unit[600]{$^{\circ}$C} have to be used. Indeed, reasonable results were obtained at \unit[500]{$^{\circ}$C}~\cite{lindner98} and even better interfaces were observed for \unit[450]{$^{\circ}$C}~\cite{lindner99_2}. -To further improve the interface quality and crystallinity a two-temperature implantation technique was developed~\cite{lindner99}. +To further improve the interface quality and crystallinity, a two-temperature implantation technique was developed~\cite{lindner99}.
