    This document discusses the crystal lattice structures of semiconductor materials, including simple cubic, body-centered cubic, and face-centered cubic lattices. It also covers planes and directions in crystal lattices, describing the diamond lattice structure of materials like silicon where all atoms are the same, and the zincblende lattice of compounds like gallium arsenide where alternating sub-lattices contain different atoms.

    a) Diamond Lattice

    b) Zincblende Lattice

    Diamond Lattice
    For

    the diamond lattice e.g. Si, all the atoms are the same. For a zincblende lattice, e.g. GaAS, one sub-lattice is gallium and the other is arsenic
