Answer 1

$\huge\colorbox{blue}{Answer}$

Pure quartz sand

Pure quartz sand is used to make silicon metal semiconductors for transistors, in the development of microelectronics, integrated circuits and the silicon chip. These are just a few examples of minerals and gemstones that possess semiconductor properties or find uses in the semiconductor industry.

Answer 2

• Pure quartz sand is used to make silicon metal semiconductors for transistors , in the development of microelectronics, integrated circuits and the silicon chips.
• These are just a few examples of minerals and gemstones that possess semiconductor properties or find uses in the semiconductor industry.
• The material most frequently used in semiconductors is Silicon(Si). Each silicon atom is combined with four neighbouring silicon atoms by four bonds.
• Silicon, is the second most abundant element on earth after oxygen, is used as the raw material of semiconductors because of its stable structure.
• Silicon used in a semiconductors such as an integrated circuit requires a  single crystal structure of ultra -high-purity"99.9999999% and is refined using various processes after extraction.
