During carbonization the Si surface is chemically converted into a SiC film with a thickness of a few nm by exposing it to a flux of C atoms and concurrent heating up to temperatures about \unit[1400]{$^{\circ}$C}. In a next step, the epitaxial deposition of SiC is realized by an additional supply of Si atoms at similar temperatures. +Low defect densities in the buffer layer are a prerequisite for obtaining good quality SiC layers during growth, although defect densities decrease with increasing distance of the SiC/Si interface \cite{}. +Next to surface morphology defects such as pits and islands, the main defects in 3C-SiC heteroepitaxial layers are twins, stacking faults (SF) and antiphase boundaries (APB) \cite{}. +off-axis? + +lower temps ... to limit thermal stress due to differing expansion coefficients ... + \section{Ion beam synthesis of cubic silicon carbide} \section{Substoichiometric concentrations of carbon in crystalline silicon} @@ -175,7 +181,7 @@ In a next step, the epitaxial deposition of SiC is realized by an additional sup \section{Assumed cubic silicon carbide conversion mechanisms} \label{section:assumed_prec} -on surface ... md contraction along 110 ... kitabatake ... and ref in lindner +on surface ... md contraction along 110 ... kitabatake ... and ref in lindner ... rheed from si to sic ... in ibs ... lindner and skorupa ... -- 2.39.2
