There are two technologies in the way the keys of a keyboard make contact: foil contact and metal contact. The foil contact keyboard has two layers of foil that when you press a key makes a contact and close a circuit. When it's released a small spring under keycap raises the key. The metal contact keyboard uses two metal plates to make contact, and again a spring under keycap raises the key when it's released. Metal contact keyboards give the keystroke clear and definitive contact.

What is the difference between via and contact in silicon?

"Via" refers to a hole that is drilled through a layer of material to connect different layers in a semiconductor device. "Contact" refers to the metal or conductive material that is deposited inside the via to make an electrical connection between the layers. In other words, via is the physical hole and contact is the material that fills the hole to make the connection.


What is the difference between friction and antifriction bearing?

Friction bearings rely on direct contact between surfaces, such as metal on metal, to support loads, while antifriction bearings use rolling elements (balls, rollers) to reduce friction and support loads more efficiently. Antifriction bearings are typically smoother, have lower friction, and require less maintenance compared to friction bearings.
