How Oxide is used?
Oxide is primarily used as an insulator between electrical pathways in miniature electronic devices, or what you might think of as a computer chip. Just like the electrical system in your car, the electrical pathways on a chip must follow a certain configuration. If a wire is connected in the wrong place this can create a short. The electrical system in a computer chip works exactly the same way except instead of the wires being protected by plastic coverings they are insulated by silicon dioxide. That’s what is meant when we refer to Silicon Dioxide as an insulator.
