#FunFactFriday: Semiconductor production begins with sand 🏝 Specifically, silica sand with extremely high concentrations of quartz is purified to contain less than one in a billion non-silicon atoms. The small crystal seed is used to grow a single crystal silicon ingot or “boule,” which is then sliced into silicon wafers (source: Principal Service Solutions, Inc.). This tiny technology has a profound impact on our everyday life.
