Technical and scientific discussion of amps, cables and other topics.

Re: A certain lack of knowledge

Please:

If you read, I distinctly said ingot, not wire. And secondly, I did not say it was cheap: I said it was not as technically difficult. The formation of metal versus silicon crystal construction is quite different, IIRC, and also the ductility of metal is, ah, considerably higher than silicon. We do not cold draw silicon to make chips. Your parallel of silicon to metal was inappropriate, in my view.
