25/04/2017 Silicon makes up a quarter of the earth's crust by weight, and is found in most minerals, including sand. However, silicon does not exist in a free state; it is always in combination with other elements. Purification processes vary according to the use intended for the silicon, from glass to hyperpure silicon used for solid-state devices in electronics. There are several ways to make silicon

Making silicon and silanes from sand Resource RSC
Magnesium and sand are heated together and silicon is produced by an exothermic reaction. The product is placed in acid to remove magnesium oxide and unreacted magnesium. Small amounts of silanes are produced by the reaction of magnesium silicide (a side product) with the acid. These react spontaneously with air to give spectacular but harmless small explosions.

From Sand to Silicon Intel
Sand With about 25% (mass) Silicon is –after Oxygen –the second most frequent chemical element in the earth’s crust. Sand especially Quartz has high percentages of Silicon in the form of Silicon dioxide (SiO 2) and is the base ingredient for semiconductor manufacturing. Melted Silicon scale: wafer level (~300mm / 12 inch) Silicon is purified in multiple steps to finally reach

Pure Silicon Dioxide from Sand Hobby Chemistry
11/04/2015 As stated, Sand is composed of Quartz, among other things. The percentage of Quartz in sand differs greatly. On average, quartz makes up about 70% of sand. Quartz is a crystalline form of Silicon Dioxide. However, sand is not good to use in chemical experiments. First, because it is only 70% quartz (has a lot if impurities). Second, because

This means that unlike insulators such as glass (that always resist the passage of electrons) or conductors such as copper (that generally let electrons pass through), you can alter silicon to be a conductor or an insulator. To make wafers, silicon is chemically processed so that it becomes 99.9999% pure

Czochralski method
Silicon wafers are typically about 0.2–0.75 mm thick, and can be polished to great flatness for making integrated circuits or textured for making solar cells. The process begins when the chamber is heated to approximately 1500 degrees Celsius, melting the silicon. When the silicon is fully melted, a small seed crystal mounted on the end of a rotating shaft is slowly lowered until it dips
