Computer chips are made from silicon because it's a natural semiconductor and is the second most abundant element on Earth. To make the wafers, silicon is purified, melted and cooled to form an ingot, then it is sliced into discs.

Who created the first computer chip?
Geoffrey Dummer. If you mean the microprocessor chip it was designed by Marcian Ted Hoff in 1971 and manufactured by Intel as the 4004. If instead you mean the first digital IC chips used to build computers, I don't know who designed them but Texas Instruments made the chips (starting in 1962) for the Minuteman II guidance computer and Fairchild Semiconductor made the chips (starting in 1961) for the Apollo guidance computer.
Do English people eat fish and chips?
No because fish is a living thing so it can not be made but chips is british.
What was the first computer to use computer chips?
The first two computers to use monolithic IC chips were the Minuteman II guidance computer (1962 to 1970) and the Apollo Guidance Computer (1962 to 1975). At the time they were designed the price of the chips they used (which only contained 1 to 6 logic gates) was about $1000 per chip, by the time production of these computers was finished (roughly 1967) the price of the same chips had fallen to about $25 per chip due to improvements in fabrication methods driven by the demand of these two projects. The rapidly declining price of monolithic IC chips over the period of the 1960s allowed many companies to introduce commercially available computers using monolithic IC chips, The first computer to use microprocessor chips was the classified F-14 RADAR data processor in 1968 (this computer remained classified until sometime in the 1990s, so it does not appear in many books on computer history). The first commercially available computer to use microprocessor chips was the Busicom 141-PF calculator, using the Intel 4004 microprocessor in 1971.
