Silicon Run I

This 40-minute video on semiconductor manufacturing shows how microchips are made and how they work in electronic products. The video provides an overview of front-end manufacturing, from crystal growth through design, to the fabrication process of CMOS integrated circuits. The video includes animations and close up views that illustrate the processes, but viewers will need a substantial background in electronics and some aspects of semiconductor processing to fully understand it. A short preview is available and the full DVD can be purchased online or by mail.
