  • Now i know how to see my Hand on a Piece of Rice, but not how to make a Micro Processor.

  • @Tschnarck the microprocessor is just etched sillicon done with another type of light...thats all - LASERS...which burn the image onto tiny pieces of sillicon. You need to see the whole lecuture - this is a clip.

  • So THATS how they do it!!!!

  • Photolithography at work

  • why are they made on circles and not squares

  • intersting and simple. I always wondered how they make it so tiny and now I know. But microprocessors are simply gar more than that. Its not so much important how its made, but how do they work.

  • So how do you make a micro prosecessor??

  • @Chihang256 First think about what a microprocessor does: Addition, Subtraction, comparison, and so on.Then depending on the current states decides which parts to use. All this is done by among other transistors.

  • @Chihang256

    Just like that, except you replace the rice with a silicon wafer. Then you project a circuit diagram onto it. It's called Photolithographic.

  • Super  !

  • This is how photo-lithography is done, a step in microprocessor manufacture not all of it. It didn't cover epitaxial growth, oxidation, diffusion/ion implantation, metalization, chemical mechanical polishing, and packaging.

  • i do not get it

  • @RamaP94 read the description

  • nice video but i thought i really learn about it!

  • how are the pins connected and refrenced in the silicon chip....nice video

  • so they make microprocessors out of pieces of rice and light

  • @fran963852741 LOL!!!!

  • @muskypucker They go to many many different highly sophisticated machines. One for example is the Metal dep machine. called thin films area. Its deposits the wafer with metal. in the form of molecular rain. evenly throughout the wafer. then goes to lithography to create that smaller imprints called stepper machines. Very complicated stuff. I worked for Intel. and I miss it. It was very interesting what I did for intel. I was a Level 2 process technician. KLA/TENCOR

  • Okay this is probably the first question everybody asks, but I wanna ask it lol:

    Why are the wafers round, and it seems like there is a half of a chip on a few of them? I don't understand why they wouldn't make a more square wafer? :/

  • What that is showing is the Photolithographic effect that is used to transfer the circuit diagrams from the plans that are mapped out onto the actually surface of the wafer (the big round disk) the man holds at the start. This is a very interesting video and a very simple way of showing this.

  • these are the kind of videos that make youtube so interesting

  • lucky kids

  • bad title but nice video

  • awesome!

  • nice keyboard

  • Well I think it's wonderful that teaching the children about how microprocessors are made is a very good idea for children to get in to technology. This does help them understand how technology works for everyday living.

  • @keiki646 really wooooow your sooo smart

  • @keiki646 Helps them maybe a bit. well, he didn't show that much of how its made, more like "this is how to shrink" and i think most of them, aren't deep in physics to really get what and most importand why its happening. In my experience with childrens between 8 and 10, most of them can't find use in "basics" about a topic if they don't understand the pullings strings of that topic, and thats the most importan thing. It just like explain "mass & matter" with gravity though jumping in a studio

  • @keiki646 I see so many people calling computers crap, playstations crap, xboxes crap etc.. in my head, i just laugh at them because they have no idea at all of what they are talking about. Shows like this will help people grow up with the knowledge to make an educated decision on what's really crap and what's not.

  • @keiki646 everyday living....um. very few people know how these things work. and you certainly don't need to know for everyday living. also i don't think a child of that age even knows what a lens is.

  • very simple.

  • lots of simple things make something very complex :)

  • @NickBlackDIN Indeed. I have long said that complexity is the redundancy of simplicity. Think about it. ;)

  • awesome!!

  • That is cool!
