Abstract

A short historical introduction concentrates on key experimental and theoretical developments prior to the mid-seventies which form the basis of our present understanding of the semiconducting and optical properties of the polytypes of SiC. Selected research of the last decade is reviewed. Finally, we discuss our on-going surface and defect studies in both epitaxial single crystal films of 3C SiC and other hexagonal SiC polytypes.
