  2. Silicon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon

    Silicon is a chemical element; it has symbol Si and atomic number 14. It is a hard, brittle crystalline solid with a blue-grey metallic lustre, and is a tetravalent metalloid and semiconductor. It is a member of group 14 in the periodic table: carbon is above it; and germanium, tin, lead, and flerovium are below it. It is relatively unreactive.

  3. Silicone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicone

    Silicone is often confused with one of its constituent elements, silicon, but they are distinct substances. Silicon is a chemical element, a hard dark-grey semiconducting metalloid, which in its crystalline form is used to make integrated circuits ("electronic chips") and solar cells. Silicones are compounds that contain silicon, carbon ...

  4. Monocrystalline silicon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monocrystalline_silicon

    Monocrystalline silicon, often referred to as single-crystal silicon or simply mono-Si, is a critical material widely used in modern electronics and photovoltaics. As the foundation for silicon-based discrete components and integrated circuits , it plays a vital role in virtually all modern electronic equipment, from computers to smartphones.

  5. Semiconductor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semiconductor

    Silicon is a critical element for fabricating most electronic circuits. Semiconductor devices can display a range of different useful properties, such as passing current more easily in one direction than the other, showing variable resistance, and having sensitivity to light or heat.

  6. Wafer (electronics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wafer_(electronics)

    In electronics, a wafer (also called a slice or substrate) [1] is a thin slice of semiconductor, such as a crystalline silicon (c-Si, silicium), used for the fabrication of integrated circuits and, in photovoltaics, to manufacture solar cells.

  7. Polycrystalline silicon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polycrystalline_silicon

    Polycrystalline silicon, or multicrystalline silicon, also called polysilicon, poly-Si, or mc-Si, is a high purity, polycrystalline form of silicon, used as a raw material by the solar photovoltaic and electronics industry.

  9. Silicone rubber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicone_rubber

    Silicone rubber is an elastomer (rubber-like material) composed of silicone—itself a polymer—containing silicon together with carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Silicone rubbers are widely used in industry, and there are multiple formulations.
