-By understanding some basic 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}.
+Implantations at \unit[400]{$^{\circ}$C} resulted in buried layers of SiC subdivided into a polycrystalline upper and an epitaxial lower part.
+This corresponds to the region of randomly oriented SiC crystallites and epitaxially aligned precipitates surrounded by thin amorphous layers without crystalline SiC inclusions in the as-implanted state.
+However, an abrupt interface to the Si host is observed after annealing.
+As expected, single-crystalline layers were achieved for an increased temperature of \unit[600]{$^{\circ}$C}.
+However, these layers show an extremely poor interface to the Si top layer governed by a high density of SiC precipitates, which are not affected in the C redistribution during annealing and, thus, responsible for the rough interface.
+Hence, to obtain sharp interfaces and single-crystalline SiC layers temperatures between \unit[400]{$^{\circ}$C} and \unit[600]{$^{\circ}$C} have to be used.
+Indeed, reasonable results were obtained at \unit[500]{$^{\circ}$C} \cite{lindner98} and even better interfaces were observed for \unit[450]{$^{\circ}$C} \cite{lindner99_2}.
+To further improve the interface quality and crystallinity a two-temperature implantation technique was developed \cite{lindner99}.
+To form a narrow, box-like density profile of oriented SiC nanocrystals \unit[93]{\%} of the total dose of \unit[$8.5\cdot 10^{17}$]{cm$^{-2}$} is implanted at \unit[500]{$^{\circ}$C}.
+The remaining dose is implanted at \unit[250]{$^{\circ}$C}, which leads to the formation of amorphous zones above and below the SiC precipitate layer and the desctruction of SiC nanocrystals within these zones.
+After annealing for \unit[10]{h} at \unit[1250]{$^{\circ}$C} a homogeneous, stoichiometric SiC layer with sharp interfaces is formed.
+
+To summarize, by understanding some basic processes, \ac{IBS} nowadays has become a promising method to form thin SiC layers of high quality exclusively of the 3C polytype embedded in and epitaxially aligned to the Si host featuring a sharp interface.
+Due to the high areal homogeneity achieved in \ac{IBS}, the size of the layers is only limited by the width of the beam-scanning equipment used in the implantation system as opposed to deposition techniques, which have to deal with severe wafer bending.
+This enables the synthesis of large area SiC films.
