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 |
