No electrical engineering without conductors! |
|
| Money, Chemistry (try Na!), mechanical and thermal properties, compatibility with other materials, compatibility
with production technologies, ... |
|
|
 |
Hundreds of specialized metal alloys exist just for "wires" because
besides s, other demands must be met, too: |
|
|
|
Example for unexpected conductors being "best" compromise: |
|
| Poly Si, Silicides, TiN, W in integrated circuits. |
|

|
|
Don't forget Special Applications: |
|
Contacts (switches, plugs, ...);
Resistors;
Heating elements; ...
Transparent conductors |
