  2. Silicon dioxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_dioxide

    Silicon dioxide, also known as silica, is an oxide of silicon with the chemical formula SiO 2, commonly found in nature as quartz. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] In many parts of the world, silica is the major constituent of sand .

  3. Silicon oxide - Wikipedia

    Silicon dioxide or quartz, SiO 2, very well characterized; Silicon monoxide, SiO, not very well characterized This page was last edited on 28 August 2018 ...

  4. Shallow trench isolation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shallow_trench_isolation

    The key steps of the STI process involve etching a pattern of trenches in the silicon, depositing one or more dielectric materials (such as silicon dioxide) to fill the trenches, and removing the excess dielectric using a technique such as chemical-mechanical planarization. [2]

  5. SiO2 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/?title=SiO2&redirect=no

    Silicon dioxide; From a chemical formula: This is a redirect from a chemical/molecular formula to its systematic (technical) or trivial name.

  6. Precipitated silica - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precipitated_silica

    Precipitated silica is an amorphous form of silica (silicon dioxide, SiO 2); it is a white, powdery material. Precipitated silica is produced by precipitation from a solution containing silicate salts. The three main classes of amorphous silica are pyrogenic silica, precipitated silica and silica gel.

  7. Silicon monoxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_monoxide

    Silicon monoxide is the chemical compound with the formula SiO where silicon is present in the oxidation state +2. In the vapour phase, it is a diatomic molecule. [1] It has been detected in stellar objects [2] and has been described as the most common oxide of silicon in the universe.

  8. Silicon–oxygen bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon–oxygen_bond

    A silicon–oxygen bond (Si−O bond) is a chemical bond between silicon and oxygen atoms that can be found in many inorganic and organic compounds. [1] In a silicon–oxygen bond, electrons are shared unequally between the two atoms, with oxygen taking the larger share due to its greater electronegativity.

  9. Silicate mineral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicate_mineral

    In mineralogy, silica (silicon dioxide, SiO 2) is usually considered a silicate mineral rather than an oxide mineral. Silica is found in nature as the mineral quartz , and its polymorphs . On Earth, a wide variety of silicate minerals occur in an even wider range of combinations as a result of the processes that have been forming and re-working ...
