title: 'Viability of recycling semiconductors in Dell LCD PC monitors'
description: 'This is a speculative class project and needs to be refined before being deployed at any scale.  The technology that me and my colleagues have chosen to examine as a possible semiconductor recycling project is the LCD PC monitor. We have chosen Dell to take a closer look at the viability of recycling semiconductors. Hydrogenated amorphous silicon is the typical choice of semiconductor material in the manufacturing of LCD monitors. It is the best choice of semiconductor material because it can be "grown" over large areas.'
