Lecture 5 Ion Implantation Reading: Chapter 5

Thick or dense materials can be used to “protect” regions from being implanted. The choice of materials ... the crystal from an amorphous layer via a process known as solid phase epitaxy (activation energy ~2.3 eV in Silicon) than it is to anneal out defects. Thus, two schemes for implants are used:

Chapter 11 Density of States, Fermi Energy and Energy Bands

The Fermi-Dirac distribution implies that at absolute zero (in the ground state of a system) the largest Fermions (electrons, holes, etc.) are filled up in the density of states, of which the energy is often called the Fermi energy (Figure 11.5), but here we specifically redefine it as the Fermi energy at absolute zero.
