 This results in the thermodynamically favored growth of a single phase due to the uni-directional contraction of Si-C-Si bond chains perpendicular to the terrace steps edges during carbonization and the fast growth parallel to the terrace edges during growth under Si rich conditions \cite{kitabatake97}.
 By MBE, lower process temperatures than these typically employed in CVD have been realized \cite{hatayama95,henke95,fuyuki97,takaoka98}, which is essential for limiting thermal stresses and to avoid resulting substrate bending, a key issue in obtaining large area 3C-SiC surfaces.
 In summary, the almost universal use of Si has allowed significant progress in the understanding of heteroepitaxial growth of SiC on Si.
-However, mismatches in the thermal expansion coefficient and the lattice parameter cause a considerably high concentration of various defects, which is responsible for structural and electrical qualities that are not not yet statisfactory.

+The alternative attempt to grow SiC on SiC substrates has shown to drastically reduce the concentration of defects in deposited layers.
+By CVD, both, the 3C \cite{kong88,powell90,powell91} as well as the 6H \cite{kong88_2,powell90_2} polytype could be successfully grown.
+In order to obtain the homoepitactically grown 6H polytype, off-axis 6H-SiC wafers are required as a substrate \cite{kimoto93}.
+%In the so called step-controlled epitaxy, lateral growth proceeds from atomic steps without the necessity of preceding nucleation events.
+Investigations indicate that in so-called step-controlled epitaxy, crystal growth proceeds through the adsorbtion of Si species at atomic steps and their carbonization by hydrocarbon molecules.
