1.2 Crystal Lattices

In this section we discuss the arrangements of atoms in various solids. We shall distinguish between single crystals and other forms of materials and then investigate the periodicity of crystal lattices. Certain important crystallographic terms will be defined and illustrated in reference to crystals having a basic cubic structure. These definitions will allow us to refer to certain planes and directions within a lattice. Finally, we shall investigate the diamond lattice; this structure, with some variations, is typical of most of the semiconductor materials used in electronic devices.

1.2.1 Periodic Structures

A crystalline solid is distinguished by the fact that the atoms making up the crystal are arranged in a periodic ...
