How did Silicon Valley get its name?
Silicon Valley was the area of California in which the Computer Age began in America. It is the place where the majority of the US computer chips are designed and manufactured. The name Silicon comes from the element, which is used in computer chips as a semi-conductor. This means that it only lets current through in a single direction - key for nearly all circuitry in modern life.
The element used to make semi-comductors computer chips?
Silicon is used in the manufacture of computer chips.
What does silicon smell like?
Silicon itself is odorless. However, certain compounds containing silicon, such as silane or silicon tetrachloride, have distinct, unpleasant smells.
Which non-metal is the backbone of the electronics industry?
Silicon is the non-metal backbone of the electronics industry. It is used in the production of computer chips and semiconductors due to its semiconductor properties, allowing it to control the flow of electricity in electronic devices.
Minerals containing silicon?
Quartz, feldspars, mica.
What is the chip on a computer made from?
Computer chips are made out of lots of tiny transistors, a little bit of superconductive silicon and a huge amount of engineering.
How did silicon get its name?
The element silicon got its name from the Latin word "silex" which means flint. This name was chosen because silicon is commonly found in the form of silicon dioxide, which is a major component of flint.
What is made with silicon?
computer's chips and contact are made with silicon.
Why is silicon considered a metalliod?
Because it contains features of a nonmetal as well as a metal. Naturally silicon is a semiconductor (depending on circumstances, it can conduct electricity or insulate it). That is why silicon is popular as a component in integrated circuits and other electronic circuitry that involve transistors.
What metal is used in sollar cell?
photosensitive alloy containing silicon
