Why was the silicon chip so important in the computer industry?
The silicon chip is in many devices today....ex. mp3 players. It was a major breakthrough because it allowed more technology to be stored in portable or smaller devices. Almost everything has a silicon chip..even your cell phone. Particularly the computer industry it was important to forthe same reasons. The iPad is a computer, so is the iPhone. But they wouldn't be possible without the silicon chip:)
The allowed computer technology to develop?
THE SILICON CHIP - The term silicon is important in the computer industry. Microchips that let computers work are made from silicon. Scientists developed the first trial silicon chip in 1958. Before that time computers were made of transistors. In 1958 scientists thought that silicon microchips were impressive because each chip could hold more than 30 transistors. Today's silicon chips often have more than a million transistors. Silicon microchips have helped make modern computer technology possible.

How do you design the silicon on chip?
A:TO design a chip you have to be more of a physicist then an engineer. usually a very big projection is needed to physically see the interleave of junctions
What does integrated chip mean?
An integrated circuit or chip consists of a single-crystal chip of silicon, containing both active and passive elements and their interconnections. Or simply defined as a collection of more than 1000 transistors and their interconnections in a single chip!.
Silicon chips are becoming more complex because?
Moore's law predicts they will and we have not yet encountered anything that prevents them from continuing to follow that law that we have not figured out a solution to. Someday we must reach that limit, as a transistor cannot be made smaller than an atom, when we do Moore's law will fail and chips will no longer be able to get more complex.
Is silica considered a mineral?
No. Silicon is the element. Silica is the compound silicon dioxide.
How do growth and development differ?
Growth is the process of becoming larger. Development is the process of becoming more complex.
What does a silicon chip do for communication?
Over the years technology has become more and more improved. With the help of silicon chips, musical performances have been better, as have space exploration and communication. Silicon chips are in the mobile phones , home phones and also wireless phones that help them communicate faster.
What is dark silicon?
The percentage of chip that can be powered (within the power budget) is decreasing. That means even if we can pack a lot of transistors in a chip(Moore's law), not all of them can be powered at the same time due to power limitation. The area of the chip which can't be powered is known as "Dark Silicon". Studies reveal that the amount of dark silicon in 22nm technology as around 20% and it predicts it will be more than 50% at 8nm. The question is, what is the point in scaling down and increasing the number of transistors per chip if we can't use them?
With governments becoming more complex not only specialization but developed.?

Is carbon a more stable element than silicon?
Silicon is more stable.
