Computer Chips Silicon Web
339 wordsSilicon is a semiconductor which means it's a "substance whose electrical conductivity is intermediate between that of a metal and an insulator; it increases with temperature and in the presence of impurities. " The conductivity of silicon can be controlled by adding small amounts of impurities, called departs. This ability to control the electrical properties of silicon have the development of transistors and integrated circuits used in the electronic industry. "Silicon is prepared as a brown a...

Valence Electrons Solar Cells
1,438 wordsIntroduction Our world has been in existence for billions of years and throughout all those years we have used the sun for basic energy needs. So why not be able to harness that energy and use it to power things like our homes or our cars? Many scientist have been developing alternate forms of energy called Green Energy. Green power is the solution to creating a cleaner, sustainable energy system. Renewable energy -- power from the sun, wind, plants, and moving water -- is a natural way to meet ...

N Type Silicon Crystal Of Silicon Resist
638 wordsInside every modern computer or other data-processing wonder is a microprocessor bearing millions of transistors sculpted from silicon y chemicals and light. Silicon, the second most abundant element on Earth, is used extensively in transistors, integrated circuits, photoelectric devices, and other electronic devices. A pure crystal of silicon does not conduct electricity unless traces of other substances are diffused or doped onto it. Therefore silicon must be manufactured in a specific way in ...

The crystalline silicon solar cell was one of the first types to be developed and it is still the most common type in use today. They do not pollute the atmosphere and they leave behind no harmful waste products. Photovoltaic cells work effectively even in cloudy weather and unlike solar heaters, are more efficient at low temperatures. They do their job silently and there are no moving parts to wear out. It i...

Prosecuting Attorney Silicon Valley
2,361 wordsCase Summary Randy Samuels, ex-programmer at Silicon Techtronics, was charged for the manslaughter of Bart Matthews who was killed by Robbie CX 30. It was manufactured at Silicon Techtronics and Randy obviously programmed the robot erroneously which caused the robot to kill Bart. The Prosecuting Attorney, Jane Mc Murdock, found evidence which shows that Randy improperly interpreted the physics formula. The programs specifications do reflect what Randy implemented in the robot. He interchanged an...
