1.   A single silicon chip that could both calculate and glow, for example, could slim down laptop computers to the thickness of a credit card.

2.   A single silicon atom, by comparison, is about one-quarter of a nanometer wide.

3.   Instead of machining heads, Alditech processes batches of heads on a single silicon wafer, using a method similar to making integrated circuits.

4.   That means scores or even hundreds of them could be made from a single silicon wafer.

5.   The projector is powered by an array of millions of microscopic controllable mirrors floating on a single silicon chip called a digital light processor.

6.   Single crystalline silicon ingots will be imported from Japan and the United States with the final product exported back to semiconductor manufacturers in the two countries.

7.   System chips put both memory and logic functions onto a single silicon wafer.

8.   The new factory will produce customized chips that unite specialized semiconductors and logic circuitry on a single silicon wafer.

9.   The two companies will limit their semiconductor businesses to the production of special, so-called system chips which put both memory and logic functions onto a single silicon wafer.
