Most of the Semiconductor Integrated Circuits and discrete components use Silicon as base material. A number of these computer components including processors, memories, various control chips, power ICs are designed in Silicon. - Neeraj Sharma ANOTHER ANSWER: Semiconductors are typically made of some kind of silicone crystal. Silicone is called a semiconductor because silicone that has been "doped" will conduct an electric current under some specfic conditions.
Inside typical computer "chips" is a piece of silicone that has been manufactured to have the specific characteristics needed.
The interesting thing about silicone is that if it's pure it is not an electrical conductor, but if small amounts of specific impurities are added to silicone crystals (doping) the crystal can be modified to have the desired characteristics. RB
Silicon chip
There is approximately 15 grams of gold in a CPU. MM says - Oh please!
Computer is made up or designing of the surface of silicon (surface of semiconductor ) "Chip's" made up of various part of CPU
The things that make up a computer system is.....
The CPU is housed on a silicon chip that contains millions of switches and circuits. It has millions of Transistors
CPUs are made of silicon, which melts at about 1400 degrees centigrade. However, other components of the CPU would be damaged long before the chip reached this temperature.
Semi-Conductors and Silicon.
Cpu is made of an arithmetic and logic unit(alu) as well as control unit(cu).ALU performs all the arithmatic and logical functions whereas control unit holds the control that is decides the flow of control.Moreover, CPU contains various registers for storing information and data during processing
Tiny piece of silicon with electronic circuits in the CPU is the one known as a the processor. This piece will contain all the components of an electric circuit.
computer's chips and contact are made with silicon.
Central Processing Unit, CPU
Silicon is a metal itself. It is not made of anything else but for silicon
