Silicon fabrication

Silicon fabrication is the process of creating miniature electronic circuits on a silicon wafer, which is a thin slice of silicon crystal. It involves multiple steps such as purifying silicon, cutting it into wafers, then coating, etching, and layering thin films of materials to build tiny transistors and other components. These components are interconnected to form integrated circuits, which power electronic devices. Advanced cleanroom environments and precise control are essential to ensure the circuits are free of defects and function correctly. This intricate process transforms raw silicon into the brains of computers, smartphones, and many electronic systems.
