Ultrapure silicon (nrog impurities tsis pub ntau tshaj ob peb atoms ib txhiab atoms) yog ib qho tseem ceeb tshaj plaws semiconductor khoom, dav siv nyob rau hauv computers, microwave kev sib txuas lus, fiber optic kev sib txuas lus, thiab lub hnub ci zog tsim. Txoj kev loj hlob ntawm cov khoom siv semiconductor silicon yog nrawm, nrog kev noj txhua xyoo ntawm monocrystalline silicon ntau dua 2,500 tons thiab silicon wafers ncav cuag 2.5 billion square inches. kuv lub teb chaws kuj tau ua tiav tseem ceeb hauv kev tshawb fawb thiab kev tsim khoom ntawm silicon, ua tiav cov qauv thoob ntiaj teb rau monocrystalline silicon nrog txoj kab uas hla hauv qab 3 ntiv tes, thiab tsim kev txiav, sib tsoo, thiab polishing txheej txheem thiab khoom siv. Txawm li cas los xij, tag nrho qib tseem poob qab cov qauv thoob ntiaj teb. Yog li ntawd, kuv lub teb chaws muaj peev xwm loj heev rau kev txhim kho ultrapure silicon, tab sis txoj kev ua ntej yog ntev thiab nyuaj.
Vim li cas lub sijhawm tam sim no hu ua Silicon Age? Ntawm 7th Lub Rooj Sib Tham Thoob Ntiaj Teb ntawm Crystalline Silicon Production, cov kws tshawb fawb tau xa mus rau lub sijhawm tam sim no li Silicon Age. Vim li cas silicon muab cov xwm txheej zoo li no? Qhov no yog vim lub ntiaj teb tam sim no hloov pauv los ntawm lub hnub nyoog kev lag luam mus rau hnub nyoog xov xwm. Nyob rau hauv lub hnub nyoog kev lag luam, steel yog cov khoom siv, yog li steel ntau lawm ntim tau kos npe rau lub teb chaws kev lag luam thiab kev ua tub rog. Hauv cov ntaub ntawv hnub nyoog, cov khoom tseem ceeb yog cov khoom siv semiconductor -silicon. Muaj ntau ntau hom ntaub ntawv uas yuav siv tau raws li ib tug semiconductors, tab sis tsuas yog ob peb yog tsim industrially. Cov tseem ceeb yog silicon, germanium, gallium arsenide, thiab gallium phosphide, nrog silicon accounting txog li 90% ntawm tag nrho cov khoom siv semiconductor. Qhov no yog vim li cas tib neeg hu lub sijhawm tam sim no lub hnub nyoog silicon.
