"Silicon metal" (also known as industrial silicon in China) is a trade name that appeared in the mid-1960s. Its appearance is related to the rise of the semiconductor industry. The common international practice is to divide the commodity silicon into metallic silicon and semiconductor silicon. Silicon metal is made from quartz and coke smelted in an electric furnace, with the main ingredient silicon at about 98% (99.99% Si is also included in silicon metal), and the remaining impurities being iron, aluminum, calcium, etc. Semiconductor silicon is used to make high-quality silicon for semiconductor devices.
Semiconductor silicon is high-purity silicon metal used to make semiconductor devices. It is sold in polycrystalline and monocrystalline forms, with the former being inexpensive and the latter expensive. It is divided into a variety of specifications depending on its use. According to statistics, in 1985, the world consumed about 500,000 tons of silicon metal, of which about 60% was used for aluminum alloys, less than 30% for silicones, about 3% for semiconductors, and the rest was used for iron and steel smelting and precision ceramics.
