Great to find your channel, courtesy of EEVBlog. Subscribed.

That is a really good video, better than many others. To people interested, in modern high end chips, there is about 500 individual steps and processes involved to make it from silicon wafer to the end chip. It can take a month or two to make one complex chip, like CPU, GPU or FPGA, often with 50 layers, and 20 metal layers. Precision of alignment between each step requires most sophisticated temperature control, optical alignment, laser interferometry, vibration free environment, and dimensional stability (often made of granit, or active water based circulation in major mechanical components to control temperatures within fractions of a degree), and smoothness (often air or magnetic bearings), to ensure repeatability and accuracy, often to just tens of nanometers.

where can i learn more about this ?

Very good overview. Heck the holes vs electron explanation was better than my circuits class in college. Did gloss over a lot of topics. Transistor/diode types, equations, layout traits, reductions, operations, etc. Simulation, layout, design, etc. Forgot testing and verification of IC, binning, etc. However still a very good overview.

Thank you!!! I have been asking and searching for a video like this for years! Awesome job! Very thorough but easy to understand

So cool to see wafer processing on an industrial scale. Back at uni it was mostly manual work for me, so seeing an automated photoresist dispenser is super neat :D

I was an IC Layout Design Engineer (Mask Designer) in Silicon Valley for 33 years... now retired. Your video is excellent!

Wonderful Content!! I work in microelectronics and such videos makes me proud Cheers ✨✌

Surprised more people haven't subbed from the EEVBlog video - great content!!! This channel is well under subscribed!

I just got a new laptop with an AMD processor. The CPU has 4.15 billion transistors in an 81 mm^2 area. That's more than 51 million transistors per squre millimeter, ignoring all the capacitors and resisters that are also packed in there. And I'm proud of myself when I make an LED blink.

Not sure they integrate all that many caps/resistors. CPUs don't have many analog circuits. It's virtually all transistors.

IC's are so amazing, the size we are able to make transistors is mind boggling and every year it just gets better even though the die sizes nowadays are not shrinking as fast as they did in the past.

I worked in a Quartz fabrication shop. We made quartz carriers, tools, pedestals and furnace tubes. All used in the manufacturing of chips. Very interesting

If anyone is wondering what the process of plasma sputtering is, applied science on KZread made a video where he makes the machine to do it. Super interesting watch.

Some chips especially for power and analog electronics applications seem to be designed by hand in terms of component placement, but I wonder at what point do chips get designed purely with HDL? Since you work at Infineon, I wonder if it's possible to get a basic walkthrough of the process of creating a custom chip for a customer. Assuming that they have the HDL working on an FPGA let's say, what would be the process of turning that into an ASIC? Are there challenges associated with that? (I can imagine that you'd have to license all IP correctly and some other elements would have to be made differently such as transceiver blocks etc..). I work with FPGAs but I'm very unfamiliar with the ASIC world. Thanks in advance! Very cool video.

I watch this video twice and leaving this comment with satisfaction 😌

Great Great video. The coolest part for me was that you showed the real deal, from the engineers, over the countless machines etc.

One of my customers manufactures these chips. Years ago, I worked for a company that sold very accurate vision assisted routing machines for processing the chip carriers. I was required to write a CNC program that cut out the internal pockets where the chip will be inserted. The camera would confirm the location of the alignment marks (fiducials) on the chip carrier and then a small (.032") router bit would cut the pocket out. Tolerances were in the microns. (One micron = 0.000039"). In order to maintain the extreme tolerances, the wear of the carbide router bit had to be factored into the routing algorithm.

very good video - could be good to make a video on technology process, feature size getting smaller. CMOS, BiCMOS, examples, Hybrids. ESD factors, etc. Data sheet specs.

Congratulations on 10k subs. Do you have any book recommendations on hardware design? I have the ancient "Introduction to VLSI Systems." Is there a more modern alternative I might find for a reasonable price and is worth a read?

The only video that cleared my doubts on microchips.

What's even more amazing, considering the modern miracles of science which goes into creating these microchips, is that one microchip doesn't cost as much as a house. If you were to travel back 100 years, you wouldn't even be able to explain the concept of a microchip to another person. It would have been far beyond what even science fiction was capable of imagining. To the untrained brain, mine for example, just one microchip is as mind-boggling as the depths of the universe.

This is the only video that is made for humans to understand since all other ones I've seen are like enigma scripts.

The BEST video explains how we come to have NPN and PNP transistors, which are the core entities to create logics, thus chips.

@gman76utube

Жыл бұрын

NPN and PNP are bipolar transistors. Most CPUs, ASICs, FPGAs, graphics, microcontrollers use N and P type MOSFETs. A lot of analog circuits favor the use of bipolar for various reasons, but they take more room, making the die larger (more expensive). When you want to build a circuit for logic functions, you usually use MOSFETs.

Very nice . Thank

Microchip design/production is not science - it's art. Awesome video. :)

Once upon a time I was a technician at Analog Devices and was involved in development and testing, of each new IC the amount of process in fab was very costly

My understanding is that although sand is mostly silica, purifying it would be difficult and expensive. So they actually use mined quartz which is much purer.

I hope you answer this question: So the chips circuitry is essentially carved into the silicon wafer itself? I used to think that billions of super small transistors were created separately and then printed onto the silicon as a oppose to the transistors actually BEING the silicon.

@effedrien

Жыл бұрын

The whole wafer, so multiple chips at once are built layer per layer. Each layer is chemically carved out of the silicon in 1 go. Only after several layers all the individual transistors are built up and the circuit is complete. So we do not make 1 transistor in 1 go, but we make part of all the transistors on the complete wafer in 1 go, then another part and another until the city of transistors is completed.

@gman76utube

Жыл бұрын

@@effedrien Yes true, but transistors aren't 'carved out'. A transistor (MOSFET) has drain and source nodes that are created by doping the silicon, atoms diffuse into the silicon to make it more N type. It's still a planar surfcae, nothing is carved out. The gate (control node) material is first layed down as a strip and this acts as a mask to define the source and drain. The gate protects atoms from diffusing into it and rather into the exposed silicon. The 3 nodes are connected with metal or poly silicon. Usually groups of transistors are wired to create circuits that perform some logic, such as AND OR NOR NAND flip flops latches ....

Or, what chemicals are used for etching? Maybe a multi-part series on each step. I'd like to know the process as if I worked at the plant. Anyway, thanks for the vid.
