Electronics & Semiconductors: Minerals for the Digital Age
How Moroccan minerals power electronics. Copper for circuitry, antimony for semiconductors, and gold/silver for reliable contacts.
Minerals Powering Our Digital Lives
Every smartphone, computer, and electronic device relies on a complex mix of minerals. Morocco is a key supplier of the essential conductive and semi-conductive materials that make the digital age possible.
Critical Electronic Materials
Copper: The Universal Conductor
- Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs): Copper foil is the conductive pathway for all electronics.
- Wiring: Essential for power and data transmission.
- Heat Sinks: Thermal management in high-performance processors.
Antimony: Precision Technology
- Semiconductors: Used in n-type silicon wafers.
- Diodes & Detectors: Infrared detectors and Hall-effect sensors.
- Solders: Lead-free solder alloys often contain antimony for durability.
Precious Metals
- Silver & Gold: Recovered as by-products from Moroccan copper mines, used for non-corroding contact points.
