  1. How a Chip Is Made

    Semiconductor chips are made by printing circuits onto a silicon disc with light.

  2. Add Film and Resist

    First, a thin film is added to a silicon wafer, and then it is coated with resist, which reacts to light.

  3. Expose with Light

    In exposure, light shines through a mask with the circuit pattern, copying the pattern onto the resist.

  4. Develop: Lit Areas Dissolve

    When it is developed, the resist that was hit by light dissolves away.

  5. Etch Away the Film

    Etching removes the film where there is no resist, and then the remaining resist is removed.

  6. Repeat to Stack Layers

    This process is repeated many times, stacking up layers of patterns to build the circuit.

  7. Cut Apart and Finish

    Finally, the wafer is cut into chips, and each one is sealed in a package.

  8. Print, Etch, Stack

    Semiconductor chips are made by repeating the steps of printing with light and etching.

Create 3D explainer videos like this sample from your documents and chat

Just attach product documents, drawings, or CAD data and tell the AI in chat what video you want. The AI plans the storyboard, builds the 3D scenes, and turns it into a video with narration and captions. You pay only for what you use (a rough guide is about 3,500 credits for a 1-minute video with 2 small revisions).
