Chips made of silicon wafers have amazing computing power. The development of science and technology constantly promotes the development of semiconductors. With the development of automation and computer technology, the cost of silicon chip (integrated circuit), a high-tech product, has dropped to a very low level. This makes silicon chips widely used in aerospace, industry, agriculture and national defense, and even quietly enters every family.
The content of silicon in the crust reaches 25.8%, which provides an inexhaustible source for the production of monocrystalline silicon. Because silicon is one of the most abundant elements in the earth's crust, the advantage of reserves is also one of the reasons why silicon has become the main photovoltaic material of solar cells, and solar cells are destined to enter the mass market.
Extended data:
The chip made of silicon wafer is a famous "god operator" with amazing computing power. No matter how complicated mathematical problems, physical problems and engineering problems are, no matter how heavy the workload is, as long as the staff speak the problems through the computer keyboard and give the ideas and instructions for solving the problems, the computer can get the answers in a very short time.
Microelectronic chips have entered the medical field, which has rejuvenated the ancient medicine and continuously created brilliance for the medical and health care cause of mankind.
The "magic" of microelectronic chips also lies in that it can make the blind see again, the deaf hear hard, the dumb speak, and the prosthetic limbs move, so that tens of millions of disabled people in the world can gain light and hope.
