What does the term electronic materials mean?

Any of various solid crystalline substances, such as germanium or silicon, having electrical conductivity greater than insulators but less than good conductors, and used especially as a base material for computer chips and other electronic devices.


How are the new Intel dual-core chips better than older, single-core chips?

They're faster, they use less power and they're better able to multitask. Dual-core chips are more efficient at running multiple resource-demanding tasks at the same time. Dual-core chips are also smaller and less expensive to manufacture.


How do the average memory chips in a computer work?

The average memory chips in a computer work by storing data temporarily and allowing faster access to programs than a hard drive. The speed allows for less disk requests and makes the system faster.


When there are advances in technology such as the personal computer how business productivity change?

The new technology can replace outdated, less efficient, machinery.


What is the significance of silicon chips in the computer?

Silicon is a metalloid which mean that it contains some properties of metals and nonmetals. Silicon does not conduct heat very well (property of a nonmetal), it is solid at room temp (property of most metals), and has a high melting point so when computers and other electronics are being heavily used they stay together.


What are the semiconductor materials used in computers?

A material that is neither a good conductor of electricity (like copper) nor a good insulator (like rubber). The most common semiconductor materials are silicon and germanium. These materials are then doped to create an excess or lack of electrons. Computer chips, both for CPU and RAM (or memory), are composed of semiconductor materials. Semiconductors make it possible to miniaturize electronic components, such as transistors. Not only does miniaturization mean that the components take up less space, it also means that they are faster and require less energy.


The mantle has less aluminum and less than the crust does.?

silicon


The mantle has less aluminum and less what than the crust does?

silicon


Why you use silicon not germanium in SCR?

because lekage current of silicon is less than germenium


The mantle has less aluminum and less?

The mantle has less aluminum and silicon than the crust does.


Can you tell me which of the following processors are better and why Compare Celeron and Pentium.?

Intel Celeron processors are generally designed to be an inexpensive alternative to Pentiums, which are more powerful (but less energy efficient) chips by comparison.


Are lays chips fried?

Yes, Lay's chips are salted. However, you can find chips with less or no salt.
