What materials are used to make a CPU?

[Regii_BK]

I need to compose a list of materials that make up a CPU.

I need specifics, not just silicon.. but EVERY material that goes into it. Such as what metals, etc.

I'm having a hard time finding this online. I'd appreciate any help! Thanks.

This should prove to be useful:

Pins are gold plated, main PCB is silicon, and copper and aluminium is also used.

Sand, something that isn't sand, and something that may or may not be metallic.

this is a powerpoint i made in university for software engineering - its about how cpus are made but its really detailed - have fun reading - plus its in mainly laymans terms

SILICON AND INTEL CHIPS good version.pptx

Ahhhhhh they use the earth metals for doping. That's actually pretty dope (pun intended) 

Yup. Silicon on its own will not work in a transistor due to its semiconductor properties(neither a good conductor or a good insulator), so they add impurities to make it conduct electricity while still allowing them to control the current.

I'm 40% sand!
