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.

Does gold have oxygen and silicon?

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.


Is there gold in hard drives?

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.

What are some common compounds made from silicon?

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.
