Silicon Heaven is an afterlife concept, where electronic equipment goes after death. The concept is used to keep mechanoids, many of which are stronger and more intelligent than their masters, from rebelling; a belief chip is installed in robots to ensure that they will believe that they will go to Silicon Heaven after a life of servitude to humanity. (Better Than Life) Silicon Heaven can be seen as a parody of religious concepts. Kryten refuses to believe he has installed a "silicon heaven belief chip" even though Rimmer shows him the manual that proves it. (RD: The Inquisitor)
