pure silicon is easily available
cost is less
efficient fabrication techniques for silicon processing
better mechanical and physical properties of silicon
integration with control and signal processing circuitry
Hello.
I hope this answer is of help to someone.
First off, the single crystal of silicon, so-to-speak, is grown in a lab that is ultra clean and pure. It is done in a room called a, "clean room." This room is more clean than any you will ever encounter yourself unless you are a technician or engineer that works in such place, then, even at that there are places that only a robot can go.
A single crystal of silicon is used because there has to be one, continuous piece of crystal with no splices or anything like that. If there wasn't a single piece of crystal, there would be problems with electricity getting where it needs to go and where it doesn't need to go.
If you truly want to understand any or all of this, start out by googling this initial question and follow as many relevant links as you can.
Silicon, Plastics, Metal, Lead, Rosin, Crystal, Glass, and Chemicals in the battery.
Metallization is a technique used to form metal contacts and interconnects in the fabrication of ICs.
A crystal detector is a diode, often used in non-powered radio receivers. It conducts at a much lower voltage than a typical silicon diode, making it easier to generate the signal amplitude required from the tuning circuit.
actually diamond should be much better, if fabrication issues can be solved, it is faster and will operate up to 600ºC junction temperature. Silicon is limited to 150ºC junction temperature and Germanium is limited to 50ºC to 60ºC. Germanium was originally used because it was easiest to purify and process. Silicon is the cheapest material now, it comes from sand and there is no shortage of that.
these are terms used to describe the buildings and fixed contents within it . the fabrication is the building itself and the fixtures are things such as bathroom fitments...toilets, washbasins, baths etc
A simple process sequence for the fabrication of passivated mesa diode arrays for photovoltaic characterization of single/polycrystalline silicon substrates is described. These diodes are used to measure a variety of substrate and cell parameters

Silicon is an indirect band gap semiconductor
Silicon Ingot:A large, cylindrical, single crystal made from purified silicon. The cylinder is sliced into thin wafers which are used for making computer chips. Silicon Wafer:Intel uses wafers of pure silicon cut from a silicon ingot to make microprocessors. Silicon, the primary ingredient of beach sand, is a semiconductor of electricity. Semiconductors are materials that can be altered to be either a conductor or an insulator.
Trivalent impurity is used to create a free electron when bonded with a silicon crystal.
Germanium is costly, less abundant and there aren't as many feasible processes for it as compared to Si for fabrication.
Not sure what your question means. In an IC (Integrated Circuit) the circuit is etched onto a single crystal of Silicon. So the crystal forms the semiconductors within the IC. or Quartz Crystals are used in electronics as stable oscillators. They vibrate at precise frequencies, which can then be used for radio transmission or reception, or can form a time base for clocks or clock pulses, used for digital electronics.
Argon is used as a protective gas in the process of preparation of silicon crystals.
For MOS fabrication, wafers with crystal orientation <100> are used. This helps achieve a lower threshold voltage and for BJT <111> orientation is preferred.

Silicon wafers are a key component of integrated circuits such as those used to power computers, cellphones, and a wide variety of other devices. A silicon wafer consists of a thin slice of silicon which can be treated in various ways, depending on the type of electronics it is being used in. Silicon is a very high quality semiconductor, making it ideal for the production of such circuits, although other materials have been explored historically. Much of the world's production of silicon wafers was historically centered in the aptly-named Silicon Valley in California.If the development of the integrated circuit revolutionized human society, the silicon wafer deserves a big part of the credit. While other semiconductors were tested and tried, siliconproved to be the most stable and useful. Fortunately, the raw materials for silicon wafers are quite accessible, even if some work is required to produce wafer-grade silicon.Making silicon wafers is a lengthy process. A lab must grow a silicon crystal in highly controlled conditions to maintain purity, although the lab may selectively dope the crystal with certain ingredients during the growth process. Once the crystal is grown, it is cut into thin slices which must then be polished before they can used to make integrated circuits.
