91.   To deal with the problem, researchers across the country are working on innovative techniques, from noiseless fans to microchannels carved into silicon chips themselves.

92.   Until recently, the ink was applied to rigid boards because the technology relied on brittle silicon chips to regulate the electric charges.

93.   Warburg is buying shares of Videologic, which makes graphic multimedia boards and silicon chips, Loveland said.

94.   Who knew more about turning complex chemistry into practical devices than the scientists and engineers who mass-produced silicon chips for PCs and lasers for CDs?

95.   Wireless phones, silicon chips, quarks, Thumbelina.

96.   Agere, based in Allentown, Pa., manufactures silicon chips and optical components such as lasers.

97.   Alphatec supplied silicon chips to such companies as Texas Instruments of the United States.

98.   Designers of silicon chips use DSP cores as building blocks.

99.   Each new generation of semiconductor memories is more difficult to develop and manufacture because of the need to squeeze ever more circuits on to a small silicon chip.

100.   Each new generation of so-called dynamic random-access memory chips requires additional complexity and increasingly expensive equipment capable of etching ever-tinier circuits on the silicon chips.
