I wonder what is the material is used to make an electronic chip?

Image[/PLAIN] of an electronic chip.

I also would like to know what is the material of the bottle of the coca cola soft drink?

Is it pure silica glass without mix with any materials?

The integrated circuit (IC) itself is usually made from silicon: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_circuit

It is mounted on a metal "lead frame" to bring out the connections to pins, and that is all encased in injection-molded plastic.
