Abstract
One material accounts for over 98 of sales in the global semiconductor market: silicon. There are many reasons why silicon devices completely dominate the microelectronics market, but the overriding factor is their low manufacturing cost. Billions of transistors with virtually identical properties can be fabricated across increasingly larger silicon wafers, driving down the cost per transistor.
