By far, silicon (Si) is the most widely used material in semiconductor devices. Its combination of low raw material cost, relatively simple processing, and a useful temperature range make it currently the best compromise among the various competing materials. Most electron components of computer chips and boards are semiconductor devices like transistors and diodes. Silicon is, from the Wikipedia article on semiconductor devices :
Silica gel is obtained by taking out water from a precipitate of silicic acid.The gel absorbs water (as well as some other substances) and is used to dry and remove the color from objects. 1  Large volumes of silicon occur naturally in silicate minerals and as silicon dioxide, the principal constituent of natural sand. The three most common current deliberate uses of silicon are as glass, in semiconductors, and in silicone polymers. Silica (sand) is the main ingredient of glass, and is also found in the human skeleton. Silica and silicates are also used in the manufacturing of cement, porcelain, glass, and glazes. Silicon, when doped with boron, gallium, phosphorus, or arsenic is used in transistors, integrated circuits, computer chips and solar cells because it is a good semiconductor.
