Sand to Silicon - the Making of a Chip (full screen)

This is how a microprocessor, the brain 'behind the magic' of your PC, is made. For more about process Intel employs in building the chips that power many of the world's computers, visit http://bit.ly/of-sand.

i do this all the time at home

it's quite simple and not attractive enough.

I think, with some more ideas, the video can become better.

[mayajaal23]

intel has an expertise in making shitty videos, it can make the most interesting thing look like the most boring shit

[Evolvor]

why every time smaller ? , is bigger not better ?

Tiny things has a big temeratur and bigger ones can better cooled or ?

and they are selling these sand pieces for $50-$1000 each. luckly US got the Iraq and arab countries from the war so Intel has plenty resources.

@351GTCOUPE obviously you don't know what are you talking about. First semiconductor device invented was the "diode" in 1870 far earlier than Roswell (1947), semiconductors existed since then. If you are talking about the transistor, people were trying to produce a working transistor as early as 1920 but it was John Bardeen who finally succeded in 1947 , he worked at AT&T Bell Labs, and he was smart enough to win 2 nobel prices, Bell Labs registered the patent. Stop reading UFO magazines.

@351GTCOUPE I hope your joking.. Its not like Intel invented the process or even the plans. Its small breakthroughs combined to form a bigger breakthrough. :-)

i want to build one, but my sand is from Pokemon world :/

WOOOW !

@Jimbobmoe01 can you plzz email me how did you do step by step in writing? I appreciate that .

If it is as simple as this, why has it taken you so long?
