Silicon is used in the manufacture of computer chips.
Germanium is not used in integrated circuits. Silicon is.
Computer-silicon
Silicon is the primary element used for the manufacture of computer memory chips. Silicon is a semiconductor material that can be easily manipulated to create integrated circuits and memory storage components like transistors and capacitors.
Not at all, except for the first few computers I used (which were built with discrete germanium transistors) every machine I used was built using silicon chips. If the first computer you used was in the 1980s or later, you probably never saw a machine that wasn't entirely silicon chips. Even the germanium transistor machines ran about the same as modern computers, except the I/O which was usually very mechanical.

Silicon.
These bags are biodegradable.
no i dont think so
Silicon
some first generation computers used germanium point contact diodes in their logic gates to reduce their vacuum tube parts count.second generation computers used discrete germanium or silicon transistors.third generation and later computers use silicon integrated circuits.
Silicon chips are typically made from semiconducting material, usually silicon, due to its abundance and ability to form the necessary structures. There are other materials with similar properties like germanium, indium arsenide, or gallium nitride that can also be used to create chips, but silicon remains the most widely used due to its cost-effectiveness and performance.
