Ifu ya silicon,nkibikoresho byingenzi byinganda, bigira uruhare runini mubijyanye ninganda. Gushyira mu bikorwa bizagira ingaruka ku mikorere y'ibikoresho bivunika.
Ubwa mbere, nk'inyongeramusaruro mubikoresho byangiritse, ifu ya silicon yicyuma irashobora kunoza cyane imikorere yibikoresho. Mu kuvanga no kubyitwaramo nibindi bikoresho fatizo, ifu yicyuma cya silicon irashobora kongera ubushyuhe bwo hejuru, kurwanya isuri no kurwanya ingaruka ziterwa nibikoresho byangiritse, bityo bikongerera igihe cyo gukora ibikoresho byangiritse. Byongeye kandi, ifu yicyuma cya silicon nayo ifite imiti ihamye yimiti, ishobora kunoza neza kwangirika kwangirika kwibikoresho byangiritse, kandi birakwiriye mubihe bitandukanye byinganda mubidukikije.
Icya kabiri, ikoreshwa ryifu ya silicon yicyuma mubikoresho bivunika birakungahaye kandi bitandukanye. Kurugero, ibikoresho bya aluminosilicate yamashanyarazi bikozwe mu ifu ya silicon metallic ivanze na alumina, silikatike nibindi bikoresho fatizo bikoreshwa cyane mu ziko ry’ubushyuhe bwo hejuru hamwe n’itanura nko gukora ibyuma, metallurgie, nibindi, hamwe nubushyuhe buhebuje bwo kurwanya ubushyuhe no kurwanya ruswa. Byongeye kandi, ifu ya silicon metallic irashobora kandi gukoreshwa mugutegura ibikoresho byoroheje bitanga ubushyuhe bwumuriro kugirango tunoze imikorere yubushyuhe bwamashanyarazi.
Muri make, ingaruka zifu ya silicon yicyuma kubikoresho byangiritse hamwe nibisabwa byerekana akamaro n'agaciro mubikorwa byinganda. Binyuze mu gukoresha mu buryo bushyize mu gaciro ifu ya silikoni ya silicon, imikorere y’ibikoresho bivunika birashobora gukomeza kunozwa kugira ngo bikemure inganda zitandukanye kandi biteze imbere n’iterambere ry’inganda.
