Silicon alloys

Chemistry portal

Here is a list of articles in the category Silicon alloys of the Chemistry portal. Silicon alloys are metallic or semiconductor alloys with silicon as a significant element. Silicon is an important alloying addition in metallurgy, particularly for a range of aluminium-silicon alloys, even though it only forms a minor proportion of the alloy.

In semiconductor manufacture, particularly for microelectronics, silicon may be the dominant component of an alloy with other semiconductors or metals.
