Studies on the thermal stability of Si$_{1-y}$C$_y$/Si heterostructures formed in the same way and equal C concentrations showed a loss of substitutional C accompanied by strain relaxation for temperatures ranging from \unit[810-925]{$^{\circ}$C} and the formation of spherical 3C-SiC precipitates with diameters of \unit[2-4]{nm}, which are incoherent but aligned to the Si host \cite{strane94}. During the initial stages of precipitation C-rich clusters are assumed, which maintain coherency with the Si matrix and the associated biaxial strain. Using this technique a metastable solubility limit was achieved, which corresponds to a C concentration exceeding the solid solubility limit at the Si melting point by nearly three orders of magnitude and, furthermore, a reduction of the defect denisty near the metastable solubility limit is assumed if the regrowth temperature is increased by rapid thermal annealing \cite{strane96}. @@ -359,7 +369,7 @@ Indeed, closely investigating the large amount of literature pulled up in the la High resolution transmission electron microscopy (HREM) investigations of C-implanted Si at room temperature followed by rapid thermal annealing (RTA) show the formation of C-Si dumbbell agglomerates, which are stable up to annealing temperatures of about \unit[700-800]{$^{\circ}$C}, and a transformation into 3C-SiC precipitates at higher temperatures \cite{werner96,werner97}. The precipitates with diamateres between \unit[2]{nm} and \unit[5]{nm} are incorporated in the Si matrix without any remarkable strain fields, which is explained by the nearly equal atomic density of C-Si agglomerates and the SiC unit cell.
