Defect centers in Silicon Carbide (SiC) are promising candidates for quantum information applications as they possess very good optical and spin properties. As published recently, triangular-shaped waveguides can guide the defect centers' emission very efficiently and are quite resilient to fabrication imperfections [1]. The implantation of the V2 center into waveguides with triangular cross-section while preserving their spin-optical properties as nearly lifetime-limited emission was recently shown [2]. On this basis, the integration of these defect centers into cavities to enhance the photon emission is desirable. This is important for efficient single-shot read-out and other quantum information protocols. In this contribution, we present the necessary steps of fabricating photonic crystal cavities in 4H-SiC including e-beam lithography and reactive ion etching. Our focus lies on the simultaneous realization of an efficient interface for waveguide-fiber coupling.
