I am excessively amused by the idea of silicone chips. I didn't know rubberized quartz was a semiconductor, BA...
Looking at the papers, I think that without handwaving for Unobtainium or using exotic materials described in the WFC, it'll be more like a block than a chip. (Of course, it'll be a very small block; probably small enough that it could be installed in existing chip package types (dual inline package, quad flat pack, or pin grid array) such that only manufacturers need know this.)
