41.   IBM researchers have created carbon nanotube transistors that substantially outperform models of even advanced silicon devices without departing from the most common design of silicon chips.

42.   If the technology proves workable, however, its first application might be in a specialized form, complementing rather than replacing silicon chips.

43.   In creating a microscopic MEMS pressure sensor, for example, engineers employ the same kinds of masks and etching compounds used in the production of silicon chips.

44.   In the process of making, etching and doping silicon chips, workers can be exposed to hundreds of chemicals, including solvents.

45.   Intel said the new design could operate at higher frequencies, use less power and move signals around the silicon chip more efficiently, Intel said.

46.   Ion beam technology first was used in the manufacture of silicon chips for microcircuitry.

47.   It may not be that far a leap to imagine, say, a silicon chip in the human brain that can receive computer data radioed through the skull.

48.   Like Santa Clara on the other side of the coastal mountains, Santa Cruz has been moving from basic manufacturing to silicon chips and software.

49.   Liquid crystal is injected under a glass pane that is placed over a silicon chip.

50.   Light-producing silicon chips could even revolutionize consumer gadgets.
