Pure silicon is derived from such silicon dioxides as quartzite gravel (the purest silica) or crushed quartz. The resulting pure silicon is then doped (treated with) with phosphorous and boron to produce an excess of electrons and a deficiency of electrons respectively to make a semiconductor capable of conducting electricity.
The process requires water and slices of quartz as well, which are placed in the autoclave as a place for the synthetic crystals to grow. As the autoclave is heated, the temperature increases, and changes begin to occur. First, the water becomes steam and dissolves the crushed silica.
During Barrovian metamorphosis the rock is squeezed, pushed and crushed together with very strong pressure. During this process, quartzite can become banded in layers of dark and light minerals. This banding places layers of biotite and amphibole, which are dark minerals, with quartz and feldspar, the lighter colored minerals.
