`See silica; silicate; silicone; ferrosilicon; silicon,
`amorphous.
`
`silicon, amorphous. A noncrystalline allotrope
`of silicon that exists in the form of a dark-brown
`powder. It is made from silane (SiH4 ) plus doping
`agents in a glow-discharge tube at low pressure. A
`film only a few microns in thickness is deposited
`on a g lass or metal substrate. The amorphous prod(cid:173)
`uct contains about 20% hydrogen. It has been found
`superior to crystalline silicon in the manufacture of
`solar ceUs.
`
`silicon-bronze. An alloy of copper, tin, and sili(cid:173)
`con used for telephone and telegraph wires.
`
`silicon carbide.

`in fused alkalies and molten iron. Excellent thermal
`conductivity, electrically conductive, resists oxida(cid:173)
`tion at high temperatures. Noncombustible. A nui(cid:173)

`Derivation: Heating carbon and silica in an electric
`furnace at 2000C.
`Available forms: Powder, filament, whiskers (3 mil(cid:173)
