semiconductor fabs

Semiconductor fabs, short for fabrication plants, are specialized factories where microchips, the tiny components that power most electronic devices, are manufactured. These facilities use advanced technology and precise processes to create intricate circuits on silicon wafers. The fabrication process involves multiple stages, including photolithography, etching, and doping, to build up and refine the chip layers. Fabs require controlled environments to prevent contamination, as even microscopic particles can ruin a chip. As the backbone of modern electronics, these fabs are crucial for producing everything from smartphones to computers and enabling the advancement of technology.
