Do they use silver and silicon in the computer chip and if so why?

silver? I can't think of any use. conductors on chip are usually aluminum, polycrystalline silicon, or copper. bond wires are usually aluminum or gold. gold bond wires on aluminum pads are sometimes unreliable because of formation of "purple plague" in the weld causing high resistance and sometimes intermittent connections. silicon? that is the semiconductor used to construct all the components.


Why do people use aluminium more than iron?

They don't. More steel (an iron-carbon alloy) is used than aluminum altogether in the world today. Advantages of Aluminum are corrosion resistance, light weight, ductility, ease of recycling (low melting point).
