“Part of the problem is that as the radioactive substance decays, most of the electrons miss the silicon surface.”

“The partnership will focus on making chips out of 300 mm wafers of silicon and the aim is to roll out prototypes in the second half of this year.”

“Microelectronics manufacturers create hundreds to thousands of chips simultaneously on large, thin wafers of silicon.”

“Microelectronics manufacturers create hundreds to thousands of chips simultaneously on large, thin wafers of silicon.”

“An aerogel is a porous network of silica strands with diameters of a few nanometres.”

“A recess is formed in the silica layer that is aligned with an active area within the semiconductor substrate.”

“As the pH of water glass is lowered, colloidal particles of amorphous silica are formed.”

“The breathing of coal and rock dust causes black lung, the common name given to the lung diseases pneumoconiosis and silicosis.”

“He had worked in a brickyard for years and got silicosis from the dust in his lungs.”

“For those that don't know, silicosis is an occupational lung disease that can be fatal.”

“A new field allows searches on anionic groups such as silicate, phosphate, and carbonate.”

“The most common phenocryst silicate phases are olivine, plagioclase and augite, typically, although not always, appearing in that order.”

“Manufacturers may add wetting agents and other substances to their silicate products.”

“The barrier may be a thin film containing at least one of a nitride, oxide, boride, silicide, carbide and aluminide.”

“The new technology features a minimum number of process changes, such as strained silicon and a new nickel silicide, to shorten time to volume.”

“The metal layer which is not transformed into a metal silicide overlying the dielectric spacers and shallow trench isolation regions is removed.”

“Avoid sand crucibles, as silicium may be reduced and absorbed by the aluminum, inducing brittleness.”

“Of these, silicium is the most usual, and there is probably no cast iron that does not contain a portion of it.”

“These zoophytes extract from the sea water the lime and silicium which are found there in the state of soluble salts.”

“Moving beyond the Earth to the other terrestrial planets, we find that the rocks there are also dominantly silicates.”

“Soluble silicates can be obtained by heating alkali metal carbonates and silica.”

“The other two silicates are possibly an amphibole and a member of the smectite group.”
