Txawm hais tias tej zaum nws yuav tshwm sim los ntawm cov lus silicon thiab silicone siv tau los sib piv, muaj qee yam sib txawv ntawm lawv. Silicon yog ib qho tshuaj keeb kwm ntawm ntuj pom nyob hauv ntau qhov kev nplua nuj nyob hauv Ntiaj Teb, feem ntau yog qhov tseem ceeb ntawm cov xuab zeb. Silicon feem ntau pom muaj nyob hauv daim ntawv crystalline. Silicone yog ib hom khoom tsim los ntawm tib neeg los ntawm silicon thiab lwm yam tshuaj, thiab tej zaum nws yog ib qho kua los yog ib lub hnab yas zoo li roj hmab yas.
Ib qho loj ntawm kev sib txawv ntawm silicon thiab silicone yog lawv siv coj mus muag. Ntshiab silicon yog ib qho zoo ntawm cov neeg ua haujlwm, xws li lub kim kim germanium . Nws yog ua tau kom sov silicon mus rau hauv ib lub xeev molten thiab muab nws tso rau hauv wafers. Cov khoom siv ua cov semi-conductive thiaj li siv tau ua lub hauv paus rau qhov sib xyaw thiab lub tshuab hluav taws xob hauv hluav taws xob uas yuav tsum muaj rau kev ua computer. Txoj kev sib raug zoo ntawm silicon thiab kev lag luam kev lag luam no txhawb nqa lub npe menyuam yaus rau California cheeb tsam high-tech paub hu ua Silicon Valley .
Silicone, ntawm qhov tod tes, yog siv rau ib tug xov tooj ntawm lwm yam kev siv. Cov kua roj (silicone) yog siv los ua cov roj nplaum rau lub tshuab, piv txwv. Ib daim duab tuab ntawm rubberized silicone tuaj yeem siv los ua dej tsis txhaws ntsiag to ncig qhov rais thiab lwm yam kev khoob. Kho cov tshuaj tua kab yog kho tau, noo noo thiab tsis muaj zog.
