Abstract: A flexible electric probe can include: a flexible substrate; and probe line conductors on the flexible substrate, the probe line conductors being essentially parallel to each other and having separations of about 5-50 microns. The flexible electric probe can further include connection conductors on the flexible substrate, the connection conductors and the probe line conductors electrically connected to each other, the probe line conductors positioned in first and second offset patterns with regard to the connection conductors.

Abstract: A method includes etching metallic impurities from an aluminosilicate mineral in a liquid acid etchant and separating solids including silica from the liquid acid etchant. The method further includes reducing the silica in the separated solids to silicon using a solid reducing agent resulting in a silicon-residual silica composite, removing aluminum chloride from the silicon-residual silica composite, dissolving oxides of the solid reducing agent in an acid solution, and separating silicon-residual silica solids remaining in the acid solution from the acid solution. The separated silicon-residual silica solids are dried to produce a clay mineral-derived silicon product.
