Best Answer

Silicon is a terrible conductor of elecricity therefore it can't connect electrical signals since it can't transfer it. It is a metalloid so it is reasonable why they would use a metal for electrical connections rather than a metalloid.

What kind of material is a transistor made from?

The class of materials that make up transistors is "semiconductor." A transistor is often made from very pure silicon that is doped with germanium or other dopant to change its electrical properties.


What is the basic electronical building block for an intergrated circut?

The transistor. It has 3 connections on it, an in, an out, and a gate. If no electrical charge is present at the gate, it conducts electricity from the in to the out. It a charge is applied to the gate, electricity cannot flow. Single transistors are extremely small, made of 3 layers of silicon. Most are nearly, if not completely, microscopic.
