In order to shorten the switching time, diodes sometimes are doped with gold or other deep-level impu-
rities to create more generation centers and to increase the carrier recombination rate.
In the chip itself? No.The packaging and interconnects often contain gold however.Bond wires are usually aluminum, but sometimes gold is used instead.Lead frames and pins are commonly gold plated to reduce corrosion.etc.There is a type of discrete bipolar junction transistor that is doped with gold, but as far as I have been able to find this is not used in ICs.
Commonly doped silicon is used to make semiconductors, but advancements in organic electronics now mean that semiconductors can be made from molecules made from elements such as carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, sulphur, nitrogen and a few others.
Silver has a resistance of 1.59x10(-8). Copper has a resistance of 1.72 x 10(-8) Gold has a resistance of 2.44 x 10(-8) Aluminum has a resistance of 2.82 x 10(-8). So the best is Silver then Copper, then Gold, and last Aluminum. (5/07/09)
Gold is rare, Gold is heavy, Gold is soft.
An alloy is a metal that has been mixed with another metal. Aluminum alloys could contain zinc, copper, or silicon (not limited to). Gold alloys can contain copper or silver. Aluminum alloy is created to be stronger and more corrosion resistant than plain aluminum. Gold alloy is created to be cheaper. Many more alloys exist.
Reduce the recombination rate
They are made from silicon
No gold is not a silicate, because it does no contain oxygen and silicon.
No. There is no gold in electrical junction boxes. If there was there would be many rich electricians.
no i dont think so
Gold is an element, so pure gold would not have any oxygen or silicone associated with it. Gold doesn't oxidize (rust) easily Gold is frequently used in various alloys (different karats). Typically silver, copper, and various rare metals are used in the gold alloys. However, one can purchase silicon bronze. And, yes, there are equivalent silicon-gold alloys. Also note, while pure gold doesn't tarnish or oxidize to any appreciable extent, gold alloys can... for example gold/copper alloys can tarnish.
Yes. there is a small amount of gold in pretty every silicon chip. Tiny gold wires connect the silicon chips to the connector pins on the chip's packaging. The connectors are often gold plated too. There are many chips on a hard drive controller pcb.
There is approximately 15 grams of gold in a CPU. MM says - Oh please!
Some common compounds made from silicon include silicon dioxide (silica), silicon carbide, silicon nitride, and silane. Silicon dioxide is found in materials like quartz and sand, while silicon carbide and silicon nitride are used in ceramics and abrasives. Silane is a precursor to silicones, which are used in sealants, adhesives, and lubricants.

Gold is an element and as it does not contain any silicon it is therefore a non silicate.
