What is silicon plus sulfur?

When silicon reacts with sulfur, it forms silicon sulfide, which can have varying compositions such as SiS, SiS2, or Si2S3. These compounds are commonly used in semiconductor manufacturing and as a lubricant additive.


How do you separate silicon dioxide and iron sulfide?

One way to separate silicon dioxide and iron sulfide is by using a magnet to separate the iron sulfide, as it is magnetic. Then, you can use a process like flotation or gravity separation to separate the silicon dioxide from the remaining mixture.

Do sulfides contain silicon?

No, sulfides do not contain silicon. Sulfides are compounds composed of sulfur and a metal element, such as iron sulfide (FeS) or copper sulfide (Cu2S). Silicon is typically found in silicates, which are compounds containing silicon, oxygen, and other elements.

Why do you use cadmium sulphate in light dependent resistors instead of silicon?

Cadmium sulphide (CdS) has been used since before bulk silicon was available. Besides Silicon is used as a semiconductor for making electronic transistors. Resistors have to be put on it. Cadmium Sulfide is cheap and works fine.


When was the semiconductor built?

Semiconductors aren't built, they are chemicals. Maybe you are thinking of semiconductor electronic components. The first semiconductor discovered was galena (lead sulfide) which was first used in a practical electronic component in 1874. The next semiconductor discovered was copper oxide which was first used in a practical electronic component in 1924. After that many others were discovered including selenium, germanium, and silicon. It was not practical to build electronic components using silicon until 1958 when Fairchild perfected their silicon mesa process, then in 1959 their silicon planar process.
