Andy Somody 97300-6222 ENSC 495 Assignment 1 Add vector symbols 1). By definition, a normal vector to a plane is any vector which begins at a point on the plane and has a direction that is perpendicular (or orthogonal) to the surface of the plane. Both the (100) and (111) planes are defined in terms of their normal vectors. The (100) plane has a normal vector of [100], while the (111) plane has a normal vector of [111]. The angle that the sides of the pyramid shaped pit make with respect to the starting wafer surface can be represented as the angle between the (100) and (111) planes. The intersection between the (100) and (111) planes is displayed in the following diagram. Therefore, the angle between the (100) and (111) planes can be resolved by determining the angle between the [100] and [111] normal vectors. By the dot product property of linear algebra, we know that...
