Eh, progress-progress ... It has reached such a level that gadgets are already being released with the expectation of kids who learn to operate smartphones and tablets before they begin to express their thoughts coherently!
But the rapid development of the electronic sphere also affects all other industrial and economic processes, since the production of one small smart device requires special equipment, various substances of natural and synthetic origin, and competent specialists. A lot of people are working on the manufacture of Sony laptop so that in the end the consumer would be satisfied with the quality of a complex device, its appearance and its long service life.
Metals in demand in the manufacture of electronic mechanisms of the "laptop" type
For the manufacture of mobile personal computers (netbooks, laptops, smartbooks), many non-ferrous metals are used, including rare and precious metals - in addition to gold and silver, also platinoids.
Different materials can be involved in the manufacture of integrated circuits: aluminum, indium, gallium, cadmium, germanium, and silicon. Manufacturers choose from this list what is more profitable in terms of cost. Low melting tin solder is suitable for internal connections in integrated circuits.
The electrolytic layer of nickel is necessary for several important actions and elements: the internal electrodes of multilayer capacitors are made of ceramics from it, and the circuit boards are coated with it in order to exclude the possibility of superimposing electromagnetic fields, to increase the indicators of corrosion resistance and thermal conductivity. As part of one gadget, the amount of nickel can range from 4.5 grams to 160.
Copper is needed as a conductor of the mother's armor. This substance is used to make wire connections, conductive media for the circuit board, connectors, interconnectors of many types of integrated circuits and liquid crystal displays. Copper is found in stampings and motherboard heat sinks, in power circuits, and in the hard disk drive. Having gone to the laptop store for a laptop, customers don't know that every small device contains a small amount of copper in many details.
Gold in laptops is not for decoration. Its properties such as resistance to rust and low resistance are important for the proper functioning of printed circuit boards and sockets for integrated circuits, for connectors for terminal cables. And gold is pulled under vacuum to pull the thinnest wire to ensure connections in the interior of integrated circuits.
