Silicon Wafer fabrication

Description

These are the instructions to the creation of silicon wafers and their initial processing steps.

Recipes

The starting point for the silicon wafers is a sand, quartz or a mineral rich in silica.

Step 1.0 Get some sand, quartz or a mineral rich in silica.

Step 1.1 Purify the sand, quartz ou silica rich mineral in to silica sand in the crafting table.
