Today, most semiconductor chips and transistors are created with silicon.

"So far, all we've done is replace silver with silicon."

Maybe I'd get better results with metal and silicon than with the old carbon-based life forms.

I think something with silicon in it, such as silicates or silicone, is probably the main one.

In 1979-80, both buildings were sandblasted and the bricks treated with silicon.

The usual formulations on the market are ferrosilicons with 15%, 45%, 75%, and 90% silicon.

Boron is sometimes excluded from the list, by itself or together with silicon.

With silicon as a foundation, the wafers would be less brittle and could be made larger.

"It is a demonstration of what can be done, but it is still a long way from being competitive with silicon."
