Where Intel gets their silicon from? (OR THEIR SILICON SYLINDERS)

I have a work about CPUs and I need to know where Intel gets their materials from.  I know that they use silicon (if there are more pls tell me) but where do they get it from? who sells them the silicon? thanks for the help!

If this is your homework why don't you spend some time googling it instead of asking strangers to google it for you?

sand, just pure silica sand. GloFo have a video about thier process, not that Intel use them for their fabs, but its the same deal:

 

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

Specific supplier information is going to be a little difficult to find, but Shin Etsu is a major supplier of silicon wafers and is listed among Intel's preferred suppliers.

 

They only need small quantities of high-purity silicon for electronics manufacturing, and it is typically produced as a side-show to large-scale manufacturing of silicone.
