We present a model for the formation of silicon carbide grains within the expanding and cooling supernova ejecta. Supernova SiC grains (SiC-X grains) have been found to be aggregates of smaller subgrains. We propose that the subgrains initially condensed in interior dense shell, were moved out of that region through velocity differentiation due to reverse shocks, and coagulated via impacts with other subgrains. The size distribution as well as the isotopic homogeneity of the subgrains places a limit on the initial location and conditions of their formation.
