ntegratd circuit
It is used in transistors and other electronic devices.
NAICS 334419 applies to Other Electronic Component Manufacturing.
Because it contains features of a nonmetal as well as a metal. Naturally silicon is a semiconductor (depending on circumstances, it can conduct electricity or insulate it). That is why silicon is popular as a component in integrated circuits and other electronic circuitry that involve transistors.
An Electronic Component Distributor can be purchased from a specialist electronics site such as Mouser. Other sites that sell them are Newark and Avnet.
Silicon is an element found in sand that is essential in the manufacturing of semiconductors, which are used in electronic devices to generate, amplify, and switch electrical signals. Silicon is a key component in integrated circuits, transistors, and other electronic components that power modern electronics and enable the transmission of electricity.
Yes. In electronic devices, semiconductors fulfill a variety of functions, including current filtering - a semiconductor diode only lets current pass in one direction - and signal amplification, using transistors. Transistors have many uses, including for electronic switching. Do some reading on diodes and transistors, while bearing in mind that they use semiconductors.Yes.

As far as I know, transistors - and other electronic devices - basically work with DC, not AC. If a computer (for example) is plugged into an AC outlet, some device within the computer must first convert the AC current into DC current, which is then fed to the electronic components.
Basically a transistor is just one single component and has no function by itself, while an IC is composed of several components of various types (transistors, diodes, resistors, and capacitors) pre-wired into a specific circuit having a specific function that it performs.An IC can now have as few as two components in it to hundreds of billions of components in it, soon the technology for making ICs will probably be able to put hundreds of trillions of components in one IC and the ultimate limit is still uncertain.
monolithic integrated circuit
Its main component is a single element called Silicon (a Silicon chip) but this will have other elements deposited on it, comprising the circuitry, diodes and transistors.
If an electronic component gets hot, that means it is dissipating energy as heat. It is converting energy from one form to another. Resistors do this by design. Inductors and capacitors do this due to internal resistance, (and often overcurrent). Semiconductors (Transistors, ICs) also dissipate heat due to their internal resistances, and their switching mechanisms of changing state.
