Source sentences:
text: When it comes to its production, silicon is used primarily as a substrate to grow the graphene.
text: Silicon photonic devices can be made using existing semiconductor fabrication techniques, and because silicon is already used as the substrate for most integrated circuits, it is possible to create hybrid devices in which the optical and electronic components are integrated onto a single microchip.
