What Materials are Used to Make Computer Chips?

  What are the constituent materials of the chip?   Silicon is mainly refined from quartz sand, wafers are silicon elements to be purified (99.999%), followed by the pure silicon made of silicon wafers, which become the material for the manufacture of integrated circuits quartz semiconductor, will be sliced is the chip production specific wafers required. The thinner the wafer, the lower the cost of production, but the higher the requirements of the process.   Some people may ask, there are so many semiconductors, why would choose silicon to produce chips? In fact, the main reasons for choosing silicon as the raw material for chips are the following :   1.  Silicon is the second most abundant element on earth, it is easy to find the raw material for purification, and silicon-related treatment process has been developed for decades, which is very mature compared to other elements.   2.  Silicon is cheap and easy to promote.   3. S ilicon is chemically stable, so the stability of the man
