Thewater vapor oxidation is take the high pure water steam as theoxidizing atmosphere, responds the production silicon dioxide by thesilicon chip surface silicon atom and the hydrone.
Trickling down through gaps in soil and rock, water flows through sandstone, limestone, and basalt, picking up a microscopic compound called silicon dioxide.
It's made from the stuff of microchips: silicon, a layer of silicon dioxide, and on top a very thin film of silicon nitride, which is perforated by a grid of microscopic circular holes.
