Best Answer

Silicon is the second most abundant element in the Earth's crust, and the eighth most

abundant in the Universe. So you can get as much of it as you want for totally free.

Just go down to the beach and scoop up a few handfuls of "silicon-dioxide" ... sand.

Any cost for silicon is the cost of purifying the raw stuff. I found the following on-line:

Cost, bulk: $0.14 per 100g

Cost, industrial pure: $5.40 per 100g

Cost, electronic pure: $276 per 100g
