Silicon based wafers, due to their excellent conductivity, have become the cornerstone of electronic devices and are widely used in personal computers, smart phones, and even environmentally friendly LED lighting systems.
Often referred to as chips or microchips, these tiny wonders contain a staggering density of electronic components, hundreds of millions of transistors, capacitors and resistors, which are intertwined through intricate circuits to enable computation, data storage and logic control, all of which takes place in a virtually invisible space.
