Product Application
Silicon wafer product lifecycle Semiconductors or chips are produced from silicon. The silicon wafers are etched with millions of tiny transistors 100 times smaller than a human hair. These semiconductors manage data by controlling the flow of electrical current to make words, numbers, sounds, images and colors. They are used worldwide by all major integrated circuit manufacturers and indirectly by nearly every human on the planet. Applications can be found in commonplace items like computers, telecommunications and televisions, as well as in more advanced applications like microwave transmissions, laser switching systems, medical diagnostic and treatment equipment, defense systems and the NASA space shuttle.
