Best Answer

Computer chips are extremely small and any such object such as dust can interrupt the circuit. I am sure there is a more complicated and official answer, but that's what I was told when working in that exact environment.

Why chips are made from semiconductor?

because they are putten into bags as if you had one right now


What is LM in LM series IC's?

LM is a manufacturer's code--all LM chips were made by National Semiconductor. Similarly, SN chips were made by Texas Instruments.


What are clean rooms like now?

Clean rooms are very neat and nice. They sometimes have flowers, if you are a girl. They also have made beds and nothing on the floor. The dressers and tables are all cleaned off. Furniture is all neat and nice. This is a neat room. And NO, clean rooms are NOT when you shove all your stuff under the bed, or in cabinets or other things like that.additional. Clean Room is a term used in industry where a very high degree of cleanliness is needed.Most obvious may be the rooms used in the preparation of Silicon wafers and chips in the semiconductor industry. When the art work and the product has dimensions of the order of a few nanometres, a particle of that size would be a disaster.Similar conditions apply in the assembly of some space mission components.These rooms are commonly constructed in an airtight bubble approach, with positive pressure in the room, and HEPA air filters used. These filters must trap 99.97% of particles of 0.3 micron and above.


Computer chips are made from what element?

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.

Why you need a semiconductor if you have a conductor?

A conductor, in electrical terms, is any material that electricity can flow through. A semiconductor allows you to control the path of electricity. The original version of this was the Vacuum Tube, followed by the Transistor. The transistors got smaller and smaller, now made of silicone, and are now located in computer chips.


Is germanium is a form of semiconductor material?

Yes it is. Some of the earliest semiconductor devices were made using it.


Why is mobile chip made of silicon?

Semiconductors are needed to create the transistors on chips. Silicone is a natural semiconductor. Silicon is quite cheap and easily obtained, made from regular sand which is silicon dioxide. Silicone can be grown into large crystals very easily.


What do people wear when making a computer chip?

Due to the close tolerances and expense of the material, chips a manufactured in "clean" rooms with filtered air. Workers ear "bunny suits" which are made of non-lint-creating material (Tyvek), as much of their body, face and hair are covered as possible to prevent them from contaminating the process. Many of the processes are done by robots because they are easier to keep clean.


Who invented the first semiconductor diode what it is called as and from which metal it is made up of?

The first modern semiconductor diode was made with germanium. These diodes were invented in ww2 for RADAR. But before that semiconductor diodes were made with galena (lead sulfide), copper oxide, and selenium. I have no idea which was "first".
