Absolutely.

This is literally the perfect explanation. When I'm at university, this detail of explanation is nowhere to be seen. In my data logging module, we are taught that "programming language is x, y or z, computers understand binary and microprocessors are simply ""and"" or ""or"" gates". Showing everyone this video is that crucial link between the theory and the practical. Well done, amazing video.

Dude, this video is so super-duper cool. I have been a electro-techie for over 50 years and wish I could have seen this video in the early 70s. Never too late, eh? Thanks a million !

This is very nice. I did a reverse engineer on a chip and we had the advantage that we had photographs of each layer of the chip. Its done by putting the chip in various acid baths and watching through a microscope to see if the top layer has been removed, then photograph it, then repeat. You end up with a series of transparencies of each layer, then you can lift off layers to see underneath. I think the difference now is this is all digitized and you do that on a screen. Its fun, and you learn a lot about ICs that way.

Very nice job. I do failure analysis on IC's, so I decap them daily. Next time I have to explain what I do, I will reference this video.

Brilliant. Possibly the best demonstration of an IC ever. Seeing it as a big 3D model really helps to understand it spatially.

Changing between images, shapes and diagrams gave a incredible depth in the explanation. Amazing!

I have been looking for visualization like this for years, RESPECT!!!

The best explanation I've seen about this. OMG. Makes me want to print my own chips now!!

What an amazing video!!! I think everyone on earth should be required to watch this and learn it. I've been working with electronics for about 15 years. I love it so much for many reasons. The most important of which, is that I always learn something new. No matter how much you think you know, something comes along to show you that you don't know as much as you thought you did. Lol.

This is an amazing video. It shows concretely how transistors physically work to form the logic gates that are used for calculations.

This is such an amazing project, literally the most helpful explanation I've ever come across.

This 3d plastic model is a next level breakdown.

This is awesome. I was wondering how these things functioned. It’s incredible how small these are

So, have you found the exact same chip but with different metal layer that uses the unused elements yet? The leftover parts can be used by wiring up a different metal layer and you can create the uL900 (buffer) and a dual version as well. Also the uL915 (Dual 3-input NOR) In fact, it looks like a lot of the RTL series from Fairchild could have been realized by the same chip with different metallic layers, keeping a lot of the process the same.

Thanks! I was wondering why there seem to be resistors sitting there not connected to anything. Thank you so much for the explanation. It makes such great sense that you could make, I wouldn’t call it a universal chip, but you could certainly make a chip that could be turned into a couple of different final chips based upon the metal layer.

This is what makes electronics interesting! Not dry curriculum notes delivered in a monotone voice. I worked in a school for many years. Electronics was not the most favorite topic. It was pages and pages of diagrams and symbols and trying to make sense. I was asked to demonstrate a simple chaser circuit. I prepared a 10-page handout with examples and things for the pupils to work with. But what fascinates then more were the physical models and test equipment I used to explain what was happening. They were enthralled.

Appreciate your efforts to help understand topics like this. There is a ton of work behind this short little presentation.

This was so well presented that I could actually pick everything up on the first view!

And it does it on a beginner level without needing to learn how to make PCBs. Mans got a good teaching career ahead of him, if not now then definitely when he retires

I now have a full understanding of how it's constructed and I can now make any circuit *from scratch.* It's not as complicated as people make it out to be. Sure it can get a little involved but a 10 year old can grasp these basics.

My favorite KZread video

Nice model and explanation. I'd love a follow up that explained the junctions and electron flow. Presumably the clear layer is not a dielectric but is part on an n-p junction; I can only visualise the function by mentally replacing the clear layer with doped material and even then can't quite map it to my rudimentary understandings of diode junctions in transistors.

That explanation was excellent.👍

I also want to know what the unused components are for. Are they artifacts from the development process? Are they there for structural integrity? other? I would also have liked a better explanation on what the transistors in the chip was made of. Like the "gap", the word implies its air or vacuum, but the model had something solid there which implies the real one does too, and I am unsure how the base would be held in place away from touching the collector if the gap wasnt solid and the base has air on all sides.

@@feha92 One possibility is that the same silicon was used to make chips with different functionality. If you have enough transistors, etc., in the silicon, you can implement different functions just by changing the metal layer(s) that wire(s) things up. Making new masks only for one or two metal layers is much cheaper than creating a complete stack of masks for new silicon. (This is even more true today now that many, many layers of masks are needed and the bottom (finer) masks are much more costly to make than the top ones for the metal layers. Today's complicated silicon devices typically contain lots of extra transistors, gates so that if you are lucky, bugs can be fixed by only changing metal wiring.)
