The main reason is that it is an easily accessible semiconductor in nature. After oxygen, silicon is the second most common element on earth. Due to its composition, it mixes readily with substances like boron and phosphorus. The material used to make the chips is silicon dioxide, sometimes known as silica sand. A large cylinder-shaped piece of sand is cast after being heated. After that, the cylinder is cut into tiny wafers. There are two kinds of chips: logic chips, which use information processing to finish tasks. And the information-storing memory chips.
