Although tremendous progress has been achieved in the above-mentioned growth methods during the last decades, available wafer dimensions and crystal qualities are not yet statisfactory.
Thus, alternative approaches to fabricate SiC have been explored.

High-dose carbon implantation into \ac{c-Si} with subsequent or in situ annealing was found to result in SiC microcrystallites in Si \cite{borders71}.
-\ac{RBS} and \ac{IR} spectroscopy investigations indicate a \unit{10}[at.\%] C concentration peak and the occurence of disordered C-Si bonds after implantation at room temperature followed by crystallization into SiC precipitates upon annealing demonstrated by a shift in the \ac{IR} absorption band and the disappearance of the C profile peak in \ac{RBS}.

By understanding some basci processes (32-36), \ac{IBS} nowadays has become a promising method to form thin SiC layers of high quality exclusively of the 3C polytype embedded in and epitactically aligned to the Si host featuring a sharp interface \cite{lindner99,lindner01,lindner02}.
