silicon has many industrial manufacturing & medical uses.
1. From silicon tetrachloride, silicon chips are made and used in electronic & IT equipments.
2.Silicon based sprays/paints are used as protective coating or to reduce wear & tear or withstand extreme conditions in temperature.
3.silicon implants are used in cosmetic surgery.

∙ 13y agoSilicon has many industrial uses.
It is the principal component of most semiconductor devices, most importantly integrated circuits or microchips.
Silicon is widely used in semiconductors because it remains a semiconductor at higher temperatures than the semiconductor germanium and because its native oxide is easily grown in a furnace and forms a better semiconductor/dielectric interface than any other material.

∙ 11y agoLarge volumes of silicon occur naturally in silicate minerals and as silicon dioxide, the principal constituent of natural sand.
The three most common current deliberate uses of silicon are
- as glass,
- in semiconductors, and
- in silicone polymers.
Silica (sand) is the main ingredient of glass, and is also found in the human skeleton. Silica and silicates are also used in the manufacturing of cement, porcelain, glass, and glazes.
Silicon, when "doped" with boron, gallium, phosphorus, or arsenic is used in transistors, integrated circuits, computer chips and solar cells because it is a good semiconductor.
Silicon is commonly used around high temperatures because of its high melting point.
It is used to make concrete and bricks, as a lubricant and for silicone implants (plastic/reconstructive surgery).
Silicon plastic (Silastic) is used for artificial skin grafts to protect healing skin. Silicones are products of silicon, made by hydrolyzing a silicon organic chloride.
Silica gel is obtained by taking out water from a precipitate of silicic acid.The gel absorbs water (as well as some other substances) and is used to dry and remove the color from objects.

Why you do not take pure silicon and use extrinsic silicon material?
Extrinsic silicon is just silicon that has been doped. So it has different semiconducting propeties from pure (intrinsic) silicon. Why anyone needed to introduce the words intrinsic and extrinsic into the subject always baffled me.
When was silicon discovered?
It was Antoine Lavoisier who discovered silicon in 1787. Use the link below for more information.
What are the elements found in sand?
Silicon and oxygen, in this form. SiO2 Silicon dioxide.
Is silicon similar to a non-metal?
no it is not a nonmetal. Silicon is a metalloid
What element do all silicates minerals contain?
The two elements that must be present in a silicate are silicon and oxygen.
Is it safe to use super glue on silicon?
It's best to use silicone on silicon.
What is the use for silicon?
surgery
Can i use my silicon dish for roast potatoes?
Yes, you can use your silicon dish to roast potatoes. It is however not recommended.
What is the mineral to use for sandpaper?
SILICON
What is Quartz common use?
silicon
What do humans use silicon for?
vehicles
Use of silicon?
Silicon is used to make many electronic devices,such as transistors, integrated circuits and computer chips.
Why you use silicon not germanium in SCR?
because lekage current of silicon is less than germenium
Why does silicon dioxide use as an ingredient in coffee?
Silicon Dioxide acts as an anticaking agent in powdered foods
Do phones contain silicon?
yes many things we use contain silicon including hair conditioner.
Would silicon seal an exhaust system?
