Description: bring-knowledge-to-the-world.com This animation explains IC fabrication in plain English. The production of microchips is a complex process with a number of different technological procedures. Contents 1) Production of ingots 2) Production of mono-crystal silicon wafers 3) Creation of layers for shallow trench isolation (STI) 4) Photolithography (optical lithography) via photomask and photoresist 5) Etching of layers 6) Production of isolating regions via silicon dioxide 7) Creation of free electrons via ion implantation 8) Production of the gate dielectric for MOSFET (n doped) 9) Creation of source and drain regions for MOSFET (p doped) 10) Bonding
