5 Uses of Silicon Wafers in Different Industries

• In the age of technology, the significance of
  silicon wafers is undeniable. They are the
  building block for Integrated Circuits (IC's),
  which become the basis for electronics and other
  equipment. However, silicon wafers are not only
  used in electronics industry. Their usage is
  quite widespread. Multiple ICs are put together
  to perform a specific task.
• Although there are many other semiconductors
  available such as silicon, germanium, gallium
  arsenide, etc. yet silicon is highly desirable
  due to its properties and stability. Silicon
  wafers are used in several ways in different
  industries. In this article we have discussed
  those industries in which silicon wafers are
  used. Lets look.

Semiconductors

• Semiconductors are the base for a wide range of
  electronic devices such as transistors, diodes,
  and integrated circuits. These devices use
  silicon wafers for their desirable properties
  such as compactness and efficiency that enable us
  to have portable and compact machines. They can
  handle voltage fluctuations efficiently which
  makes them ideal for using in optical sensors,
  power devices, and even lasers.

4
Electronics and Computing

• Silicon wafers have revolutionized the
  electronics industry and given the digital era a
  boost. They are highly popular for their use in
  electronics and computing. Different kinds of
  ICs, such as RAM chips, are made of Silicon
  Wafer. Because of their compactness, they are
  preferred for electronics, computing devices, and
  other technological innovations. Smartphones,
  home appliances, automobile electronics, and
  drone technology all owe their existence to
  silicon wafers because these devices rely on
  silicon wafers. Because of the new fabrication
  techniques and automated processes electronic
  devices can be made portable, efficient, and more
  reliable- all thanks to silicon wafers.

Optics

• Especially manufactured polished silicon wafers
  are used for optical grading. Silicon wafers can
  be used in Reflective optics and Infra-Red (IR),
  which makes them the ideal cost-effective
  manufacturing material. Especially manufactured
  silicon wafers are made using Floating Zone or CZ
  fabrication methods. Both approaches produce
  wafers with minimum defect level and enhanced
  performance compared to other methods of
  manufacturing. Specific purpose silicon wafers
  are used in micro-optic and fiber optic devices
  such as image sensors (CIS). These CIS are made
  of complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS).

6
Solar Cells

• Silicon wafers are used to build solar cells for
  better performance and output. They use amorphous
  Silicon, monocrystalline Silicon, and cadmium
  telluride as their base material. Solar cells
  efficiency can be improved by 25 with the help
  of fabrication process such as Floating Zone.
  Solar cells are made in the same manner as
  microchips. Solar cells do not require the same
  level of purity and quality as do computing
  devices and other electronics.

7
Aerospace

• Silicon wafer are widely used in the aviation
  sector because of desirable qualities of a
  semiconductor. Other than their use as a covering
  and binding material, they are also used for
  insulating sensitive components to protect them
  from getting exposed to high temperatures. Due to
  its high temperature tolerance, it has widely
  been used in various sectors. Another usage of
  silicon wafers in aerospace is their help in
  original equipment manufacturing (OEM).

Silicon Specialist LLC

• Silicon wafers have become highly popular
  recently in various industries. They are the
  basis for technological tools and have
  revolutionized the electronics industry. They are
  stable, reliable, compact, and efficient which
  makes them the ideal material option among all
  available options. The fact they are widely
  available on the earth also contributes to their
  increasing popularity. It is because of silicon
  wafers that huge and bulky machinery is available
  to us in a very compact manner. And electronics
  have become accessible for majority of
  households.
