Product Info

As a chemical element, the silicon atom is referred to as the symbol "Si", the atomic number 14 and has an atomic weight of 28. It is the second most abundant chemical element in the earth’s crust, just behind oxygen. Silicon metalloid, also referred to as a semi-metal or metal (although it isn’t one strictly speaking), is best known for its semiconductor characteristics and has been vital in the development of solar energy and electronics, driving digital technology. A semiconductor does not conduct electricity very well in its pure form but, by adding impurities, as is the case in silicon metalloids, it is possible to influence and control electron transport conductivity.
