 {\bf To summarize},
 in a short review of the C/Si compound and the fabrication of the technologically promising semiconductor SiC by IBS, two controversial assumptions of the precipitation mechanism of 3C-SiC in c-Si are elaborated.

 Variations exist with displacements along two or a single \hkl<1 0 0> direction indicating a potential artifact.
 However, finite temperature simulations are not affected by this artifact due to a low activation energy necessary for a transition into the energetically more favorable tetrahedral configuration.
 Next to the known problem of the underestimated formation energy of the tetrahedral configuration \cite{tersoff90}, the energetic sequence of the defect structures is well reproduced by the EA calculations.

 Defects of C in Si are well described by both methods.
 The \ci{} \hkl<1 0 0> DB is found to constitute the most favorable interstitial configuration in agreement with several theoretical \cite{burnard93,leary97,dal_pino93,capaz94,jones04} and experimental \cite{watkins76,song90} investigations.

 {\bf Conclusions}
 concerning the SiC conversion mechanism are derived from results of both, first-principles and classical potential calculations.
 Although classical potential MD calculations fail to directly simulate the precipitation of SiC, obtained results, on the one hand, reinforce previous findings of the first-principles investigations and, on the other hand, allow further conclusions on the SiC precipitation in Si.
