Silicon has been the tried and true semiconductor material for decades. With the advantage of being inexpensive, plentiful and relatively easy to manufacture, it's hard to beat silicon as the go-to semiconductor material for electronic components. But silicon has its drawback such as being brittle and not always easy to use for integrating components. But there are other materials already use or being introduced or being experimented with.
