How does a blank silicon disc become a brain with billions of transistors? Walk the eight core stages of chip manufacturing — the same flow running 24/7 inside every fab on Earth. Each stage is animated: watch the light print, the plasma carve and the bond wires land.
The wafer icon above the steps travels the line as the process advances — just like a real lot moving through a fab.
Individual process steps for an advanced chip — one wafer can spend up to three months inside the fab.
What a leading-edge fab can cost to build — among the most expensive factories in human history.
A fab never sleeps. Stopping the line costs millions — which is why skilled people matter so much.
