Structure : • The atomic arrangement within a solid can be classified as follows • Amorphous • Polycrystalline • Crystalline
Amorphous: • An Amorphous solid is a material in which there is no recognizable long-range order in positioning of atoms within the material. • Crystalline: • A crystalline solid is a solid material whose constituent atoms, molecules, or ions are arranged in an ordered pattern extending in all three spatial dimensions.
Polycrystalline: • Polycrystalline materials are solids that are composed of many crystallites of varying size and orientation.
Unit cell • Unit cell: • The unit cell is a small box containing one or more atoms arranged in 3-dimensions
The unit cell is represented in terms of its lattice parameters.
On the cubic category there are three types of unit cells • Simple cubic • Body-centered cubic • Face-centered cubic
Silicon Lattices • In Si (and Ge) the lattice structure is diamond lattice. • Diamond Lattice: • Similar to F.C.C but have four additional atoms. • Most of the iii-v semiconductors are diamond lattice. • Diamond lattice similar to zincblende structure.

MILLER INDICES • The position of the planes or the direction of a vector in the lattice are usually described by three integers.
HOW TO FIND MILLER INDICES. • Determine the intercepts of the plane intersecting the xyz coordinate.a1 – x direction, a2 – y direction, and a3 – z direction. • Take the reciprocals of the intercepts. • h = 1/a1, l = 1/a2, and m = 1/a3. • Reduce the result to the smallest integer. • ( hkl) – for single plane and {hkl} for a group of planes. • Negative Miller values are denoted by a bar • on top. Example - (ħkl). • Planes without an intersecting intercept are • taken as infinite planes (∞).
Obtaining Ultrapure Si: • In nature Si is found in a various forms of silicon dioxide or silicates. • silicon the second most abundant element in the Earth's crust (about 28% by mass) after oxygen. • Czochralski process.
