text: Another reason why silicon became dominant is that it is very easy to create a high quality thin insulator on the surface of a silicon chip, because you can just put silicon in a hot furnace with oxygen and it will form a thin film of silicon dioxide which performs as an excellent insulator which gave it a huge advantage when MOSFETs were first created.
text: So in short, silicon is a highly pure, easy to use, and cheap semiconductor, perfect for the now huge computer chip industry.
text: Silicon is a good material for this because it is relatively easy to manipulate the conductive properties of silicon by "doping" it with other elements.
