From Sand to Silicon: the Making of a Chip

[MpSlx]

if chips comes from sand, and have to be hot to turn to the chio materials... in the deserts are produced 10 chips in a second =P haha

[one85db]

This is a horrible video, they must have used an Intel powered powered PC to create it.

[IMOVIES1337]

How did they find out that sand stores data?

[RoastBeef191]

I could use some commentary.

[iRouRoui]

You mean the chips are coming from the sand ?

[EnhancedCognition]

Buzz saws... seem's legit.

[vmelikian]

Wow, this sand can play Portal 2!

[slapkickinmule]

i didn't learn anything, is a trade secret how they get the boron and phosphorus into areas that small, then effectively figuring out how to position everything in there, so we are learning that a laser beams, some levitating saws , some sand turning into orange goop, then heated into a magical levitating silicon crystal, this is useless

[tokillamb]

Hi, I have shared a nice animation on the entire chip manufacturing process... have a look...

[Nvidia9700MGT]

I would like in minecraft start to make som many !

[naustradmas]

looks so simple

[Shan23Studios]

you didn't Xplain shit here, you are hidding the transformation of the silicon matter in contact with the variant freq of the laser beam

[903harman]

were being sold sand for $300

[paulgtmovies]

amd makes better processors

[Destructioniskey]

@paulgtmovies Intel kicks AMD's asses. People always say that AMD is better bang for the buck. But if you compare the gaming performance of the AMD FX-8150 to the Intel core i5-2500k, the 2500k destroys the FX-8150. They are also about the same price.

[mavswi]

@Destructioniskey but amd integrated graphics crushes intels and their discrete gpu crush nvidia

[reistje]

Nice video but...... why are half of intels video 360p lol

[AntDX316]

1:05 - 1:11, what is happening there.. like in real life

[sephers2]

@AntDX316 you see that bit at 0:50? That's UV light being projected onto a soluble material which causes it to be unsoluble, then etching fluid comes a long and dissolves everywhere except for where the UV light creating a mask. Finally another fluid comes along and dissolves the silicon and the mask is then removed. They do that for several layers of silicon and copper and whatnot to create tiny transistors and the circuit. The video isnt a great representation of what actually happens.

[AntDX316]

@sephers2 so it's an adaptive mould? it disappears and/or changes to create a new fill channel?

[sephers2]

@AntDX316 effectively yeah, watch this video, /watch?v=dR-Qtv-7uWI

it shows how a photoresist layer and UV light is used to create a mask to then etch away material

[AntDX316]

@sephers2 oh nice

[leekimlanuza]

Thumbs up if you have intel core i7

[jolez1477]

sooo we pay like 300$ for a a small bit of melted down sand cooked in sunlight and then put in a processor.. interesting.. I never knew processors were made of sand?

[leekimlanuza]

@jolez1477 actually its made out of silicon extracted from the sand 

[electutorial]

they forgot to put the photographic coating it would not work

[akirafactor]

Hello Larrabee

[radonas]

so i pay a shitload of money for less then a handfull of sand

[yaboiiangel12]

thats a vage description ....what about the pins?

[genestarwindjf80]

This is very cool. they should show how everything is made

[malanfrk]

i love to intel

[smartalgorithm]

very simple but funy... :)

[srgwarcock]

holy christ iv been looking for anything on the internet that had the process of silicon being made into a processor... seriously i even went as far as to look up the silicon industry in china but that was no help either

and now that iv seen it, this was a peice of crap!

Go Fuck Your Self Intel!!

[Rollora]

@srgwarcock If you don't get it, this is not for noobs this is for the press. So do the same to yourself you assume Intel to do because you didn't get the facts right...

And if you want an INFORMATIVE video about that, there is one for noobs from "Globalfoundries" and "AMD", search for "From sand to chip - How a CPU is made"

[srgwarcock]

holy christ iv been looking for anything on the internet that had the process of silicon being made into a processor... seriously i even went as far as to look up the silicon industry in china but that was no help either

[pelavcp]

me fui a poringa

[HazerdLet]

what AMD video you are talking abou ? link ?

[AutechVersion]

@HazerdLet watch?v=W62sbKA50XM

[zamarkand4423]

AMD's video about Sand to Silicon is way much better than this.

[sampling247]

That explains everything...........not......­....

[10cmsub]

Amd is great and i love it,i actualy like intel

[killersaad]

@Dummy288 watch the AMD version

[adequitprawn]

Seems simple enough.

[JumpStartPause]

they make good processors, but amd makes better videos

[Liquiddragom]

@JumpStartPause just look at AMDs sand to silicon video lol.

[MrGermanBratwurst]

@JumpStartPause The only thing AMD is good in, is shitty marketing and lying...

[seroyer2]

@JumpStartPause AMD's videos will make you weep in amazement, of mankind's achievements.

[Aparsanlal]

just even a tiny bit of narration would make this video like million times better.

[MegaWYU]

can somebody explain some shit to me?

[MidNiteR32]

@MegaWYU

Watch the AMD video, it actually explains the whole process.

[MuMaker]

Krasse scheisse ! xD Sau viel Arbeit um einen Chip herzustellen !!! hahahaha xDDD

oh man sind Menschen dumm und kaufen sich dann solche Cpu´s für 999$ und 300 400 500 600 $. zu krank!

[arckmarou]

what are they doing at 0:50



[kpdrives]

@arckmarou burning an image on the wafer. @0:40 photo-resist is applied then light is @beamed through a mask @0:50 then an etching solution washes away the unexposed photo-resist. leaving a layer of circuitry. Dope is built on the wafer then another photo mask process. It is repeated a few more times

[fantasykid999]

I own an Intel and man what a FAILURE presentation. What happen to their money?

[1yoyo105]

My computer runs on SAND!?!?!!!?

[DieDistroLupe]

Nice but, i'm not smarter than I was before!

[AngelaGnzlz]

OOOH!! they made this video like this to show they still faster than AMD LOL xD

[MultiTail]

such a waste of sand

[MrWarmesEis]

nice animations but thats all

[FexitHD]

looks like intel just make a chip in 2.00 mins :O

[immisterim]

@FexitHD and yet SO FUCKING EXPENSIVE.

[SilkyMuggs]

This makes intel cpu's look so cheap compared to the AMD one lol, which is ironic. Im sure you all get it :P

[cmommsen1]

1:16 this explains why Intel has been hiring all those ninjas each year via craigslist.

[neoverine]

@cmommsen1 - lol you're nuts! awesome comment lolllll

[jaymorpheus11]

this video doesn't explain it well, and the music is annoying

[PenguinRecordings]

Hurm...AMD had explanations going on. I prefer AMDs video for learning knowledge pertaining to CPU production. I mean seriously...I thought Intel at least thinks about stuff before doing it.

[CtrlRm]

Awful choice of music

[Exgaves]

0:29

no wonder theyre so expensive, they bloody waste 90% of the thing.

[acmefixer1]

@Exgaves

Ha-ha! Silicon is sand which is so cheap they can get by with a lot of waste. But there are so many chips made that even if some are wasted, the rest are still cheap. Literally "dirt" cheap. But they charge you an arm and a leg for the latest breed of CPU, and millions and millions of customers are more than willing to pay the price!

[Exgaves]

@acmefixer1 a sarcastic remark... when you buy intel ur not just buying a cpu, ur buying an INTEL cpu so from there point of view its just better for some reason. Intel screws people over because they have the leverage of people assuming AMD sucks because its cheaper.

just like every other name brand (billabong, Dell, EB Games... the list is massive.) thats the only thing i have against intel. greedy bastards.

[gadgetmanubuntu]

@acmefixer1 Its not the silicon, its the equipment, labor, designers, and accuracy to make a chip.

[VagrantChrisX]

The AMD one made me cry, this one didn't do a thing. I still love Intel, but the magic inside the AMD brought tears to my eyes. Especially at the end, when everything comes together and the AMD Logo is Shown. Classic and Memorable.

[samrudi]

know why AMD goes in to dept and Intel dosnt: AMD dosnt know how to make chips fast so they figured they had nothing to lose if they tell everyone how its done

[Glockmog]

cutting chips with a chainsaw would be better since it gives the chip more raw speed

[mglTeek]

OH. cool

[ECASirk]

I understood everything up to 00:40, and from then on, I had no idea what was happening.

Could anyone explain what the stages from 00:40 onwards were?

[NeophyteOneable]

this is how cookies r made

[toastbrot21016]

AMD makes the win!

[SafasoTV]

they cut thier chips wit saws! no wonder mines is slow ! they are doin it wrong!

use lasers intel!(idiots).

[YTMrVulcan]

@SafasoTV Why do you think that the way the chips are cut, determines the speed of the end product?

[mitko1251]

I have no doubts Intel cuts between their chips with saws.

[XxURM0MMAxX]

Mind fucked lol. Yea AMD is way better

[LOLitsJono]

All style, no substance Intel.

I guess that's why AMD whooped you guys for eight years straight relentlessly until the Core series came out ;)

But i'll throw you guys a bone: I own an i7 now haha

[decimat777]

@LOLitsJono lol i guess you didnt know that amd was using intels pentium III architecture for all those 8 years. Intel and AMD among the many court cases they had: amd won the rights to the pentium III architecture(they did the same thing with previous generations like the pentium II and so on) which explains intels crappy pentium 4. Amd has been modifying the same architecture for those 8 years and guess what it was intels idea. Intel started the cpu market and amd has copied them since.

[FearTriX]

Clearly this video lacks passion about CPU manufacturing.

[cwbh10]

Not very descriptive, but pretty good for a 2 minute video

[Pie911emergency]

This covers essentially everything the AMD video covered. If you watch the AMD video first, then this one, it provides a very filling understanding. I myself started to get lost in the process of AMD and once finished watching this one found myself entirely satisfied hahaha. This makes the process simplistic, a perfect summary.

[Kadda67]

This is a shame. It's too easy.

[GlobalMusicStage]

This is shit, the AMD one is far better. You'd think intel would be better at this.

[tom1161]

So i clap or something?

Then some funky music comes on?

Then stuff floats around and makes me some CPUs?

[TheLegomaniac25]

They forgot to put them in the box :D

[TzzX78]

yeap Intel is always being very secrcy about their process. i was a L2 Process Tech. My job was to sample production wafers from the line. Load them into KLA scanners. then into special microscopes. Its is amaizing what I saw inside the chip..its like another world a third dimensioin..world...

[wasitrealy]

@TzzX78 You've literaly made me go on google images and see what it looks like so microscopic, haha.

[brent3k]

AMD one was informative but this one gives me a quick how its done... AMD one has more infomation. THis one is much more simpler to process for people who dont like terms etc...

Would be nice if intel had someone speaking over the top saying wtf was going on as the plate spun out of controll... good job :)

[mike3684]

oh duh! i should have know that how they work... saw blades float in and lasers make a little city of copper down there... silly me... here i thought it had something to with etching and photo resistance...

[Disinf3ctant]

Come on Intel. AMD made a better one than this! You gotta get someone to talk!

[azamatms]

wow so now sand is smarter than the average american

[Diabolomania2000]

AMD's one was way better, its more informative and complex and more detailed...do you want me to say more?

[thyrium2]

You forgot something dipshit...

Like how do you get it from the sand?

[jodeljette]

tolle sache, habs in nen physikvortrag eingebettet und ne 1 bekommen

[nun9496]

great!!



[baldun0423]

@dragonx20091 you sir is too damn ignorant... stop spreading FUD.

[splice247]

the amd one was better, this one makes me feel like a mentally retarded and i need special ed, "lets go color, and make pretty pictures!" "de, de, deeee!" lol

[De2t3ny]

intels porcezors are made out of sand fine ; ) pure gaming quality ..... not !

[maticoff]

Intel and AMD are competitive even in documentaries it seems, LOL

[RaiScapeCannel]

I do this out my back

[toootooot]

intel rock big time

[rbmdl]

intel rocks!!!!

[rusurazvan]

what?

[SirusVirusCS]

To understand all you need to watch AMD's video and then Intel's animation...

[harlangomes]

FUUUUUUUUUUUU o da AMD foi bem melhor isso, esse vídeo  foi apenas propaganda da Intel!

[fttoft]

WTF, a nice animation and absolutely no explaination of what is happening?!?!

[uut0]

how do they get the purity of the silicon high enough to make chips? thats the question :P

[dedefh23]

@uut0 PATOO!!!XD lOl!

[uut0]

@dedefh23 omfg wtf lol xP

[dinkidavis]

wow, it's all so clear now.......

[Abs9106]

what did i just see???

[ChazZeromus]

Is this in response to the AMD one?

[superwiicrazy]

AMD one was way better than this

[johanexxxx]

@superwiicrazy

Was what they were doing at 0:46 Photolithography?

[pcr3]

@superwiicrazy Yeah, i watched the AMD one and they go way more in dept.

[NAWRARESNAW]

@superwiicrazy Very true,they don't cut the waffers with a sawdisc

[Zanith50]

@superwiicrazy care to show us?

[jpmorgan187]

@superwiicrazy

except for the shitty resolution

[Cleric775]

@superwiicrazy What's the title of the video, please?

[superwiicrazy]

@Cleric775 From sand to chip - How a CPU is made

[uberdood555]

@superwiicrazy Yeah, This is just advertising... Stupid intel...

[HazerdLet]

@superwiicrazy what AMD video you are talking abou ? have a link ?

[JOMIMC]

FAKE

[mywtfmp3]

the only idea i learn here is intel cpu is made of sand. really too blur

[Ryuuken24]

What the fuck, the only part I get from this is the sand, after that everything gets blurry. What the hell was the point in spinning glass, what does it mean, God answer me, what Whaaaaaat !!!!????

[8aetroya8]

this explained nothing, taking somethings so complex and showing some generalized kids version of it.... what's the point?

[LuisTheComrade]

Beautiful

[SexyMausii91]

so einsam heute jemand lust zu camen mit mir

[aztecsavo82]

AMD RULEZZZ ;)

[maueruk07]

Maybe, but Intel came before...

[xboxnissan]

hella no

[xXbobmasterXx]

AMD/ATI 4ever :D

[xboxnissan]

Intel > AMD.

[xboxnissan]

hella no, what's the point of bringing ATI ? this is Intel, so you must tell AMD, and even that, Intel pwns AMD up the @ss with the performance and power saving. Did you knew that 8 Intel Cores beats 16 AMD Cores? Now you know it.

[likonos]

Great animation

[xxxyboy3000]

wow awesome video....i wonder why amd do not make such a creative videos

[Daml661]

Looks cool!

[grpace]

Cool

[Vanakatherock]

Intel Core i7

'Nuff Said

[DALVideos]

So cool to see how the processors are made!! Great video!!

[SpyKSI]

That was f*cking amazing !

[xboxnissan]

Pure Awesomeness!!!!
