Silicon is widely used in electronic industries in a number of forms, for example: amorphous silicon is used in liquid-crystal display units; polysilicon is used in Flash memory structures and photovoltaic solar cells; single crystals are used in C-MOS technologies etc. There are a few methods by which crystalline silicon is manufactured. Some of these manufacturing methods use a large amount of electricity and result in a large amount of carbon footprints. These methods also contribute to production of waste materials and greenhouse gases.

The lecture presentation will cover the various silicon production methods and the need for alternative silicon production methods.
