Letlapa la tšepe la silicon, le tsejoang hape ka hore ke tšepe ea silicon ea motlakase, e entsoe ka tšepe ea motlakase joalo ka thepa e tala ea mantlha mme karolo e itseng ea silicon e ea eketsoa. Mosebetsi oa eona o ka sehloohong ke ho fokotsa tahlehelo ea matla a khoheli le tahlehelo ea tšepe ea lisebelisoa tsa motlakase joalo ka li-motor, li-transformer, lijenereithara, le ho ntlafatsa ts'ebetso e ntle le e bolokang matla ea lisebelisoa tsa motlakase. Matla a khoheli a letlapa la tšepe ea silicon a fapane haholo le a tšepe ea motlakase, e nang le matla a matla a khoheli le matla a tlase a matla a matla, a etsang hore phetolo ea matla ea lisebelisoa tsa motlakase e sebetse hantle.
