| silicon dioxide |
Sometimes just called oxide in the semiconductor industry. Sand on the beach and the glass from which we make bottles is silicon dioxide. Silicon dioxide is an insulator, and is used in semiconductor circuits to isolate different conducting regions. Silicon dioxide can be grown from silicon by exposing it to oxygen at high temperatures, or it can be deposited using chemical vapor deposition. back to top
