524 SILICON CARBIDE Vol. 22 SILICON CARBIDE 1. Introduction Silicon carbide [409-21-2] (SiC) is a technologically important material that is one of the small number of unusual materials that were first created synthetically and then subsequently discovered in nature. Silicon carbide was first observed in its natural form in 1905 by the Nobel-prize-winning chemist Henri Moissan‚ who discovered it in the meteor that created the Diablo Canyon in Arizona. The transparent mineral‚ now known as

History:[1][2][3][4] The story of Silicon Valley started in 1938 with the brilliant Stanford University professor of electrical engineering‚ Frederick Terman. Teaching radio engineering‚ he encouraged his students to work for local companies and to start businesses of their own. It troubled him that his best graduates had to go to the East Coast to find employment‚ especially in the field of radio engineering. His solution was to establish the then-new radio technology locally. Among

Applications of Silicon Silicon is one of man’s most useful elements. In the form of sand and clay it is used to make concrete and brick; it is a useful refractory material for high-temperature work‚ and in the form of silicates it is used in making enamels‚ pottery‚ etc. Silica‚ as sand‚ is a principal ingredient of glass‚ one of the most inexpensive of materials with excellent mechanical‚ optical‚ thermal and electrical properties. Hyperpure silicon can be doped with boron‚ gallium‚ phosphorus

decades the semiconductor has emerged as the dominant influence and has effected into all branches‚ and almost all of our daily life. But we are not usually aware of its existence. Dicken (2010) explains further when a number of transistors connected together on a single piece‚ so called an integrated circuit first introduced in 1950s for the computerized functional purposes‚ it had taken a whole roomful of valve computer. Then in early 1970s a very sophisticated microprocessor chip of silicon the size

In 1497‚ King Manuel ordered Vasco da Gama to go on an expedition in East Asia. The journey is a prime example‚ which demonstrated how gunpowder transformed Europe. His use of gunpowder allowed him to set forceful deals with other nations after destroying their navies with superior cannons and boats. Even though China invented an early version of the powder‚ they neglected the improvement of it‚ as they believed it was noisy‚ cheap and dirty business. It was the Europeans who found success with

the century‚ the region of Northern California we call Silicon Valley‚ was known as the Valley of Heart’s Delight. At that time it was better known for its apricots and walnuts than for its cutting-edge technology. The first time the term Silicon Valley was used‚ was in 1971 when a journalist wrote a couple of articles in Electronic News‚ a weekly electronic industry tabloid‚ about the semiconductor-industry around Palo Alto‚ California. Silicon Valley has since then transformed into a region filled

The invention of the television revolutionized politics. Beginning with the Kennedy-Nixon debates in the 1960 election‚ and continuing on to the present day‚ how a politician comes across on television has become a central part of the election. More recently‚ the rise of the smartphone once again revolutionized politics by giving people instant access to news and political updates‚ as well as pushing politics into everyday conversation to a much higher degree. Now‚ politicians once again have the
