How MICROCHIPS are Made 🖥️🛠️ | How a Semiconductor is MANUFACTURED

This video explains the fascinating process of manufacturing microprocessors from silicon. It begins with the extraction of silicon from quartz sand, followed by the creation of pure silicon wafers. Then, it details how circuits are designed and etched using advanced photolithography techniques to place billions of transistors on each chip. Additionally, it shows the strict cleanliness and precision controls necessary to avoid impurities that can damage the microchips. Finally, the video covers the encapsulation of the chips and how these finished microprocessors are used in a variety of modern electronic devices.

I have been in IT my whole adult life. I still can't understand how the wafers work. How they actually put the stuff on the wafer. Guess there are parts of the process I just have to take as "magic" lol...
