<正> Silicon carbide is a technologically important material due to its superior mechanical and electronic properties. The understanding of defect production in helium-implanted silicon carbide is important for the vise of this material in nuclear energy devices or for the proposed getting technique of electronic devices of silicon carbide. Much less is known about helium behavior in silicon carbide than in silicon and metals. Our recent study with transmission electron microscopy (TEM) indicated that the formation behavior of helium precipitates i.e.
