Thus, alternative approaches to fabricate SiC have been explored. +The \ac{IBS} technique, i.e. high-dose ion implantation followed by a high-temperature annealing step, turned out to constitute a promising method to directly form compound layers of high purity and accurately controllable depth and stoichiometry. +A short chronological summary of the \ac{IBS} of SiC and its origins is presented in the following.
