Who was the first to invent a microchip?

The monolithic integrated circuit was invented by Jack Kilby at Texas Instruments in 1958. It was made of a single crystal of germanium. Although all the components were made together in that crystal their interconnections still had to be wired. In early 1959 Robert Noyce of Fairchild Semiconductor invented an improved integrated circuit using silicon. The use of silicon instead of germanium allowed passivation of the chip surface with an insulating layer of silicon dioxide and interconnecting the components with a layer of metal over that. These were the first practical monolithic integrated circuits and Kilby's original design never went into production.


Is it safe to use super glue on silicon?

It's best to use silicone on silicon.


What are the uses of silicon oxide in a mobile phone?

As in all modern electronic devices, a microscopically thin layer of silicon dioxide is grown as an insulator and passivator over the silicon of integrated circuits and discrete transistors. This process was developed in 1959 by Fairchild Semiconductor for use in their Planar Process for making silicon transistors and immediately spread throughout the industry, permitting use of inexpensive plastic packaging for semiconductor devices for the first time. Silicon oxide polymers are also in the silicone rubber parts that seal the case and keyboard from moisture.


Why silicon is preferred over germanium in the fabrication of integrated circuits?

The invention of the planar process by which most IC devices are fabricated relies on the gas phase diffusion of dopants to produce N-type and P-type regions, but also on the ability of silicon dioxide to mask these diffusion processes and passivate the chip surface eliminating the need for hermetic packaging. Silicon is unique in its ability to be oxidized to produce a stable insulating coating. Germanium dioxide is crumbly and water soluble, making it impossible to use in this process. While the first IC made used germanium, it had to be handwired which would have made them prohibitively expensive to produce and much larger than even the early silicon ICs.


Which type of circuit the parallel circuit are use?

they are used for more power than a series circuit so you should use this one.

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.


How much money is silicon dioxide?

Why is silicon dioxide use to make bricks?

Silicon dioxide (in the form of sand) is a key component in bricks because it functions as a binding agent when combined with other materials like clay. When heated in a kiln, the silicon dioxide melts and helps hold the brick together, creating a strong, durable structure. Additionally, silicon dioxide provides stability and resistance to heat, ensuring the bricks can withstand various weather conditions.


How many grams of oxygen are in 10.00x1028 molecules of silicon dioxide?

10.00 X 10^28 = 1.0 X 1^29 ( always use scientific notation in chemistry ) 1.0 X 10^29 molecules silicon dioxide (1 mole SiO2/6.022 X 10^23)(2 mole O/1 mole SiO2)(16.0 grams/ 1 mole O) = 5.3 X 10^6 grams of oxygen


How do you separate iron III oxide and silicon dioxide?

One common method is to use a magnetic separation technique to separate the iron III oxide, as it is magnetic, while silicon dioxide is not. Another method is to use a technique called flotation, where a chemical reagent is added to selectively float one of the substances while the other sinks. Both methods rely on differences in physical properties to separate the two compounds.

How could you separate dichlorobenzene from silicon dioxide?

One way to separate dichlorobenzene from silicon dioxide is to use a solvent extraction method, where dichlorobenzene can dissolve in a solvent like ethanol, while silicon dioxide remains insoluble. After mixing the mixture with ethanol, the solution can be filtered to separate the solid silicon dioxide from the solvent containing dichlorobenzene. The solvent can then be evaporated to isolate the pure dichlorobenzene.


Which oil use in circuit breakers?

Standard residenetila and some smaller industrial type breaker don;t use any oil in them,,,they use a silicon grease as a lubricant and contact protectant.


How does silicon carbide differ from quartz?

Silicon carbide is a synthetic compound made from silicon and carbon, while quartz is a natural mineral made of silicon dioxide. Silicon carbide is harder and more durable than quartz, making it suitable for use in industrial applications like grinding and cutting tools. Quartz is widely used in jewelry and decorative items due to its clarity and appearance.


How to separate silicon from sand. What is the system to separate the silicon from sand?

One method to separate silicon from sand is through a process called acid leaching, where the sand is mixed with an acid solution that dissolves the silicon dioxide (SiO2) leaving the silicon behind. Another method is to use a high-temperature electrochemical process called the "Zone Melting" technique where silicon can be melted and separated from the sand.
