this is/could be redundant for some of you on here. But the article is worth a look. The deserts of Arizona are home to Intel’s Fab 32, a $3billion factory that’s performing one of the most complicated electrical engineering feats of our time. It’s here that processors with components measuring just 45 millionths of a millimetre across are manufactured, ready to be shipped out to motherboard manufacturers all over the world. Creating these complicated miniature systems is impressive enough, but it’s not the processors’ diminutive size that’s the most startling or impressive part of the process. It may seem an impossible transformation, but these fiendishly complex components are made from nothing more glamorous than sand. Such a transformative feat isn’t simple. The production process requires more than 300 individual steps. However, they can be neatly summed up in just ten... How Silicon Chips Are Made | PC Plus
Seen it before, but that is a good basic article. BTW, if you can avoid being near HF (hydrofluoric acid) you should do so. Its one of the nastiest chemicals that exist. Its not good for humans.
