Electronic Materials Production.

While the term “electronic materials” commonly refers to the silicon-based materials from which computer chips and integrated circuits are constructed, it technically includes all materials upon which the function of electronic devices depends. This includes the plain glass and plastics used to house the devices to the exotic alloys and compounds that make it possible for them to function. Production of many of these materials requires not only rigorous methods and specific techniques but also high-precision analytical methods to ensure the structure and quality of the devices.
