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. +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 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. +A model is suggested ... + +... diffusion of reactants in a stagnant layer. -SiC on SiC epitaxy ... \section{Ion beam synthesis of cubic silicon carbide}
