|---|---|---|---|
| 1787 | Antoine Lavoisier first identifies silicon.[1] | ||
| 1811 | Joseph Gay Lussac and Louis Jacques Thénard react silicon tetrachloride with potassium metal and produce some very impure form of silicon.[2][1] | ||
| 1824 | Swedish chemist Jöns Jacob Berzelius discovers silicon by heating chips of potassium in a silica container and then carefully washing away the residual by-products.[3] | ||
| 1854 | Jacque Deville first prepares crystaline silicon, the second allotropic form of the element.[4][5] | ||
| 1857 | French chemist Henri Étienne Sainte-Claire Deville and German chemist Friedrich Wöhler discover silicon nitride.[6][7][8] | ||
| 1948 – 1952 | American Carborundum Company applies for several patents on the manufacture and application of silicon nitride.[6] | ||
| 1955 | The first working silicon transistor is developed at Bell Labs by Morris Tanenbaum. |
