Nonmetallic element used in integrated circuits (in a California valley?) (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

silicon

(Other definitions for silicon that I've seen before include "Electronic material" , "Element in sand, quartz" , "Element used in integrated circuits" , "Californian valley" , "Element occurring in sand" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
