Global Silicon Metal Market, Global Silicon Metal Industry: Ken Research

Increase in Production of Semiconductors Expected to Drive World Silicon Metal Market over the Forecast Period: Ken Research

Silicon metal is a grey metallically glossy semi-conductive metal which is used in the manufacturing of steel, solar panels, aluminum alloys, and microchips. It is also known as semi-metallic or metalloid. It is generally produced by smelting quartz & coke in a submerged in an energy-intensive, electric arc furnace. It acts as a raw material for a huge number of industrial & consumer products for instance sealants, lubricants, coatings, adhesives, and polishes & cosmetics. It is necessary in the production of aluminum & chemical products. It is also an essential material in electronics or solar industries. Its electrical properties are modified through a process called doping, which make it an ideal material for constructing transistors that amplify electrical signals. It possesses a restrained energy band gap of 1.12eV at 0 K, which makes it a stable element. The key properties are machinability, high melting point, high corrosion resistivity and high thermal conductivity.
