61. The plates are used to produce integrated circuits on silicon wafers. 62. The profit gain comes from higher sales of silicon wafers. 63. The second transformation is a change in the diameter of the silicon wafers from which chips are made. 64. The silicon wafers are often shielded while they are treated with chemicals. 65. The transponder is made up of silicon wafers, circuits and sensors that together are about the size of a quarter. 66. The two said they will work on the technology needed to engrave microscopic electric circuit lines onto silicon wafers. 67. Then they created a variety of tiny Tesla-style pumps by etching silicon wafers in the same way computer chips are created. 68. They ferry a precious cargo of eight-inch silicon wafers. 69. Tower Semiconductor, based near Haifa in northern Israel, manufactures semiconductor integrated circuits on silicon wafers. 70. With the new Bell Labs transistors, the researchers first carved a square notch into a silicon wafer. |
