"Entropy is not "disorder". No way. No how. That's an old 1890s idea that was obsolete after statistical and quantum mechanics became fully developed in chemistry. However, it hasn't yet been eliminated from some textbooks. They may be excellent in other parts but they simply don't tell you the straight stuff about entropy if they use that old obsolete definition with "disorder".
I know, it�s a bit more complicated than that...
I did get the concept though.
Great, that was the point. It is always difficult to be correct and understood at the same time :-)

The ultimate limit for defect ratio is the entropy of the crystal structure, and that obviously increases with the chip area.
