What element is used in making transistors and chips?
Silicon and Germanium are the elements used in transistors
What is the chip on a computer made from?
Computer chips are made out of lots of tiny transistors, a little bit of superconductive silicon and a huge amount of engineering.
Why is a computer chip called a chip?
Computer chips are built on a slice of silicon. Silicon forms the basis of transistors which make up a complete circuit. The circuit is photo etched onto the silcon forming complex circuits containg transistors, resistors, capacitors and diodes. The silicon is grown as a single crystal. The crystal is then sliced into thin wafers, onto which the circuit is etched. These resemble a sliced potato or CHIP.
What are the advantages of silicon to the computers?
I have no idea YOU KNOW WHAT THIS WEBSITE IS USELESS
Difference between an microcontroller ic and an embedded system ic?
A micro controller is a programmable device, it is a small computer on one chip, it can be programmed to control devises in the outside world, IE a PIC see more here http://patenttrade.net, where an integrated circuit is normally a device that is made to do a predefined function like the 555 timer/counter device.
What type of microprocessor contains 42000000 transitors in the same thumbnail sized piece of silicon?
A Pentium 4 contains 42 million transistors. Forty-two million transistors isn't very many--the highest-end Itaniums and Xeons have nearly two BILLION transistors.
What are the materias used in ic?
ICs contain lots of transistors, which are made up of P and N silicon.
What element are in transistors?
Silicon and germanium are the elements used in transistors
What elements in in transistors?
Silicon and germanium are the elements used in transistors
How does a microchip and a microprocessor differ?
Pretty simple, really. A Microchip is a chip (mostly of the Silicon Variety) that has transistors, resistors, &, etc. on it. It can provide many functions, including Memory (ROM & RAM), &, etc. A Microprocessor is one of the systems than can be on a Microchip.
What elements are used in transistors?
Silicon and germanium are the elements used in transistors
The allowed computer technology to develop?
THE SILICON CHIP - The term silicon is important in the computer industry. Microchips that let computers work are made from silicon. Scientists developed the first trial silicon chip in 1958. Before that time computers were made of transistors. In 1958 scientists thought that silicon microchips were impressive because each chip could hold more than 30 transistors. Today's silicon chips often have more than a million transistors. Silicon microchips have helped make modern computer technology possible.

What are the chemical components of a microprocessor?
Some of the chemical components of a microprocessor is sand and silicon. The microprocessor is also made up of phosphorus and boron.
Diodes and transistors are made of semiconductor material such as germanium and what?
Silicon
