"Circuit underutilization" is simply less efficient use of a circuit. That's not deserving of a separate page, otherwise you can add pages for "X underutilization" for almost any X.

• The concept is too generic
• The concept is inherently subjective (the article makes no attempt at definition)
• The current description is unnecessarily limited by omitting the time dimension. (If a micro-processor has 64-bit arithmetic, but in actual use 95% of operations are on 32-bit words, then is the circuit underutilized?)
• The first reference doesn't exactly sound like a peer-reviewed scientific article. The second reference doesn't mention utilization (and is rather archaic by the standards of the field).

Bad summary

"physical incomplete utility of semiconductor grade silicon" is not grammatical, and not intelligible without reading the examples. There are several other grammar mistakes.
