Notice the 2 locations labelled 'Ag'.
These are from

Basically they are developing a material similar to graphene, except made of silicon. Graphene = Carbon.
They have a 'thumbs-up' to continue the research. It may "hit production" in 5 or 10 years.
The semiconductor industry shows few signs of weaning themselves off Silver. More the opposite.
