Semiconductor Processing

Semiconductor processing involves creating integrated circuits (chips) by shaping and modifying materials, primarily silicon. The process includes steps like purifying silicon, adding precise patterns via photolithography, and layering thin materials through deposition. These steps form complex components such as transistors, which control electrical signals. Throughout processing, cleanroom environments minimize contamination, ensuring high quality and performance. The result is tiny, intricate circuits that power electronic devices like computers, smartphones, and appliances, enabling modern technology's speed, efficiency, and capabilities.
