- A crystal is a repeating array
= lattice + unit cell
- Lattice: pattern of repetition; point with
identical surroundings for periodic stacking
- Unit cell: what is repeated; the simplest choice for a representative structural unit

A cylindrical crystal rod (d = 4-8”) is pulled
vertically from the melt in a heated crucible
The crystal rod and the crucible are usually rotated
in opposite directions
Solid crystals are afterwards cut to form thin
semiconductor wafers from which, e.g., integrated circuits, are produced

- Metallic bonding: sharing of valence electrons by many
ionic cores in lattice, de-localized

ions, nondirectional
