SiTime’s MEMS timing technology is built on silicon, offering several advantages over quartz. “Silicon is batch-processed, meaning we can manufacture 100,000 units on a single wafer with incre ...

Silica is naturally occurring in stones such as granite, porcelain and marble at between 5 and 40 per cent. However, in engineered quartz it can be as high as 97 per cent. Engineered quartz has ...

Chemically, quartz is nearly pure silicon dioxide (SiO 2). When there are no impurities, pure quartz is water-clear and often referred to as “rock crystal”. Impurities can give transparent ...

Scientists in the US built the first silicon transistor in 1947. Before that, the mechanics of computing had been performed by vacuum tubes, which were slow and bulky. Silicon changed everything.

Sweden's Green14 is sampling material from its pilot reactor at KTH Royal Institute of Technology. The pilot has a 100 kW plasma capacity with 5 kg/h of silicon.

Prices: Spot silicon metal prices continued a weak trend, with the futures market also declining. Yesterday, the SI2505 contract broke below the "10,000 yuan" threshold, reaching an intraday low of ...
