Metallic siliva e lelei tele conductivity eletise. O le mea lea, o le paʻu siliva paʻu o loʻo i ai le tele o faʻaoga i le tele o matāʻupu e pei ole microelectronics technology, fetuutuunai faʻaaliga tekonolosi, ma photovoltaic alamanuia. Fa'apipi'i e faia i le pa'u pa'epa'e siliva fa'atasi ai ma fe'avea'i fa'aola eseese ma mea fa'apipi'i e tele lava ina fa'aogaina mo vaega fa'aeletoroni e pei o filiga, sui o le membrane, meataalo semiconductor, pa'i pa'i, ma eletise siliva i tua o sela sola. Faatasi ai ma i latou, o le paʻu siliva o le vaega pito sili lea ona taua e avea o se vaega faʻatinoina gaioiga, lea e fuafua saʻo ai le conductivity o le paʻu.
A fetaui le pauta siliva fasipepa ma le ta'avale fa'aola, o fasi pepa siliva e fe'avea'i fa'afuase'i, o'i, ma pa'i. A maeʻa ona lolomiina i totonu o se mamanu, o loʻo i ai ni mea eletise lelei ma le matagofie o le luster siliva, o lea e iai le tele o faʻaoga i mea eletise. O le pa'u pa'u siliva o le mea fa'aeletise autu mo mea fa'aeletoroni e pei o capacitors monolithic, filiga, potentiometers ata tifaga, tantalum capacitors lapotopoto (po'o le pu), sui o le membrane, ma le fusipa'u semiconductor chip.
