 SiC - \emph{Born from the stars, perfected on earth.}
 
 \vspace{4pt}

 Conventional thin film SiC growth:
 \begin{itemize}
  \item \underline{Sublimation growth using the modified Lely method}
        \begin{itemize}
         \item SiC single-crystalline seed at $T=1800 \, ^{\circ} \text{C}$
         \item Surrounded by polycrystalline SiC in a graphite crucible\\
               at $T=2100-2400 \, ^{\circ} \text{C}$
         \item Deposition of supersaturated vapor on cooler seed crystal
        \end{itemize}
  \item \underline{Homoepitaxial growth using CVD}
        \begin{itemize}
         \item Step-controlled epitaxy on off-oriented 6H-SiC substrates
         \item C$_3$H$_8$/SiH$_4$/H$_2$ at $1100-1500 \, ^{\circ} \text{C}$
         \item Angle, temperature $\rightarrow$ 3C/6H/4H-SiC
        \end{itemize}
  \item \underline{Heteroepitaxial growth of 3C-SiC on Si using CVD/MBE}
        \begin{itemize}
         \item Two steps: carbonization and growth
         \item $T=650-1050 \, ^{\circ} \text{C}$
         \item SiC/Si lattice mismatch $\approx$ 20 \%
         \item Quality and size not yet sufficient
        \end{itemize}

 Alternative approach:
 Ion beam synthesis (IBS) of burried 3C-SiC layers in Si\hkl(1 0 0)
 \begin{itemize}
  \item \underline{Implantation step 1}\\
        180 keV C$^+$, $D=7.9\times 10^{17}$ cm$^{-2}$, $T_{\text{i}}=500\,^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$\\
        $\Rightarrow$ box-like distribution of equally sized
                       and epitactically oriented SiC precipitates
                       
  \item \underline{Implantation step 2}\\
        180 keV C$^+$, $D=0.6\times 10^{17}$ cm$^{-2}$, $T_{\text{i}}=250\,^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$\\
        $\Rightarrow$ destruction of SiC nanocrystals
                      in growing amorphous interface layers
  \item \underline{Annealing}\\
        $T=1250\,^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$, $t=10\,\text{h}$\\
        $\Rightarrow$ homogeneous, stoichiometric SiC layer
                      with sharp interfaces

  Density functional theory (DFT) calculations
 }

 \small

 Basic ingredients necessary for DFT

 \begin{itemize}
  \item \underline{Hohenberg-Kohn theorem} - ground state density $n_0(r)$ ...
        \begin{itemize}
         \item ... uniquely determines the ground state potential
               / wavefunctions
         \item ... minimizes the systems total energy
        \end{itemize}
  \item \underline{Born-Oppenheimer}
        - $N$ moving electrons in an external potential of static nuclei
\[
H\Psi = \left[-\sum_i^N \frac{\hbar^2}{2m}\nabla_i^2
              +\sum_i^N V_{\text{ext}}(r_i)
              +\sum_{i<j}^N V_{e-e}(r_i,r_j)\right]\Psi=E\Psi
\]
  \item \underline{Effective potential}
        - averaged electrostatic potential \& exchange and correlation
\[
V_{\text{eff}}(r)=V_{\text{ext}}(r)+\int\frac{e^2 n(r')}{|r-r'|}d^3r'
                 +V_{\text{XC}}[n(r)]
\]
  \item \underline{Kohn-Sham system}
        - Schr\"odinger equation of N non-interacting particles
\[
\left[ -\frac{\hbar^2}{2m}\nabla^2 + V_{\text{eff}}(r) \right] \Phi_i(r)
=\epsilon_i\Phi_i(r)
\quad
\Rightarrow
\quad
n(r)=\sum_i^N|\Phi_i(r)|^2
\]
  \item \underline{Self-consistent solution}\\
$n(r)$ depends on $\Phi_i$, which depend on $V_{\text{eff}}$,
which in turn depends on $n(r)$
  \item \underline{Variational principle}
        - minimize total energy with respect to $n(r)$

 Details of applied DFT calculations in this work

 \begin{itemize}
  \item \underline{Exchange correlation functional}
        - approximations for the inhomogeneous electron gas
        \begin{itemize}
         \item LDA: $E_{\text{XC}}^{\text{LDA}}[n]=\int \epsilon_{\text{XC}}(n)n(r)d^3r$
         \item GGA: $E_{\text{XC}}^{\text{GGA}}[n]=\int \epsilon_{\text{XC}}(n,\nabla n)n(r)d^3r$
        \end{itemize}
  \item \underline{Plane wave basis set}
        - approximation of the wavefunction $\Phi_i$ by plane waves $\phi_j$
\[
\rightarrow
\text{Fourier series: } \Phi_i=\sum_{|G+k|<G_{\text{cut}}} c_j^i \phi_j(r), \quad E_{\text{cut}}=\frac{\hbar^2}{2m}G^2_{\text{cut}}
\qquad ({\color{blue}300\text{ eV}})
\]
  \item \underline{Brillouin zone sampling} -
        {\color{blue}$\Gamma$-point only} calculations
  \item \underline{Pseudo potential} 
        - consider only the valence electrons
  \item \underline{Code} - VASP 4.6

  Conclusion of defect / migration / combined defect simulations
 }

 \small

\vspace*{0.1cm}

Defect structures
\begin{itemize}
 \item Accurately described by quantum-mechanical simulations
 \item Less accurate description by classical potential simulations
\end{itemize}
\vspace*{0.2cm}
\begin{itemize}
 \item \hkl<1 0 0> C-Si dumbbell interstitial ground state configuration
 \item Consistent with reorientation and diffusion experiments
 \item C migration pathway in Si identified
\end{itemize} 

Concerning the precipitation mechanism
\begin{itemize}
 \item Agglomeration of C-Si dumbbells energetically favorable
 \item C-Si indeed favored compared to
       C$_{\text{sub}}$ \& \hkl<1 1 0> Si self-interstitial
 \item Possible low interaction capture radius of
       C$_{\text{sub}}$ \& \hkl<1 1 0> Si self-interstitial
 \item In absence of nearby \hkl<1 1 0> Si self-interstitial:
       C-Si \hkl<1 0 0> + Vacancy $\rightarrow$ C$_{\text{sub}}$ (SiC)
\end{itemize} 
\begin{center}
{\color{blue}Some results point to a different precipitation mechanism!}

\begin{itemize}
 \item \hkl<1 0 0> C-Si $\rightarrow$
