What's inside a microchip ?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- In this video I take you on a tour of the visible internal workings of a 27C512 EPROM microchip, with the aid of an optical microscope at up to 800x magnification.
With any luck, you won't find it too boring and you'll learn a bit about what's inside a microchip and how they work.

Thank you for your support, you're all awesome!
Guys... in 1973 I went to work for Ross Perot @ Texas Instruments in North Dallas. My first job was in the electronic calculator manufacturing line and more specificlly I ran a machine which formed and cut each of the three leads attached to the transistors that were inserted into each calculator's printed circuit board (mother board). Unlike the microscopic transistors in this video our transistors were about the size of the tip of your little finger. The chip you see in this video would hold hold maybe two of the transistors we used then as opposed to the millions or billions that would fit today. That is called progress.
C.M. Mike Adams At around that time in Australia, guys were selling calculators to Life Assurance Salesmen and other businessmen as a full time job, and making a very good living at that. Some could afford to drive a Volvo, which was a sign of commercial success. Recently I bought a similarly featured calculator for 20 Thai Baht (approx 80 cents), which also demonstrates "progress".
Strange how little the public knows about the Instruments they use every day. Im in my fifties and succesfully self taught on so many subjects in my years. I love tech.
moores law
Imagine what we'll have 40 years from now.
A couple more games with Ray tracing support.
Thank you for this video. It took me back to when I was a Technician at IBM Research. I did the design verification on the CAD systems and then once the wafers were made, I would saw the chips, mount it on a chip carrier and painstakingly wire bond it. I think we used silver wire because it was easier to ultra sonic bond to the aluminum pads. It was also more flexible to loop up so it can cross over another wire like a bridge without shorting.
Really gives you an idea of how complex computers are. It's insane how precise the manufacturing have to be to make all of this work.
This is an extremely old IC... you could even make out the block which saves the bit (not too sure about EEPROMs but I don't think what he said was 1 transistor really was 1 transistor... the transistor part of it was probably even smaller). Nowadays one transistor is just about over 500 times smaller than that one block. You will not be able to see it under an optical microscope... even electron microscopes have a hard time picking them up right now.
*****
then how the fuck are they made? who sees whats going on and is it going on as it is planned?
TheHolyReality It is all regulated by computers nowadays. They make a batch and then check a few chips for their functionality - if they all work, probably the rest work as well.
To see how IC-s are made you can search youtube - there are a lot of videos on it.
+Jürgen Ruut No no no, they can see and manipulate INDIVIDUAL ATOMS (and have been able to since 1981), transistors are clearly visible to Scanning Tunneling Microscopes.
There's a video, by IBM, called a"A boy And His Atom", made out of atoms. You can google pictures taken of microprocessors by Scanning Tunneling Microscopes and a whole pile of things will show up. One can look at fairly current cross sectional images of apple's mobile chips, and clearly see transistors. STMs are commonly used for validation of chips, too.
"A Boy And His Atom": /watch?v=oSCX78-8-q0
Alex McMahon I didn't say it wasn't possible. I just said that it is hard to pick them up. Seeing down to atomic level is not really a very easy job, it takes quite long to get the clear picture.
wow just imagine a core i7 or xeon CPU
A modern transistor on a cpu these days is extremely small. About 300 times smaller than a red blood cell. Millions of them in one single processor.
Millions? Haha.. Not really.. More like billions
Antonio Innocente Yeah but thats not how the language works,,
Erfan Rouhani I know, right?!
D wave CPU
I was searching, trying to figure out how microchips physically worked and I found your channel. I just blazed through all your content and I wish you'd make more! I love your style of video, too. Hope that you come back from your 4-year hiatus soon!
Wow.. it was so deep at the end "nice to still have a little control over some things"
your voice is so calm and relaxed. I love falling asleep listening to your videos
didn't mean to sound creepy haha
Wow this video really helped me to grab the picture what exactly i’m learning in my semiconductor fabrication class. Thank you!
The technique for bonding the wires on the die is called cold welding. It works by pressing two clean metall pieces together with high pressure until they meld and form a bond.

"Thinking nonsense."
I just discovered that I think nonsense too.
😂😂😂
Superb, GOOD JOB! Thank you very much indeed :)
I *completely* agree with your observation about how sterile the convenience of integration is, it's such a pity.
God bless you.
People who are able to make microchip are truly genuine
AHAHAHAHA!!!!!! A CHIP!!!!!!
GET IT????!!!!
A CHIP!!!!!!!!
+Al Goldstein nope, I can't, because I made a new reply to the thread instead of what I meant to do, which was replying to someones comment lol. And I can't remember what comment it was.
If you trawl the comments then you'll probably find the one that I had meant to reply to :-D
neil h yeah we got the joke already, stop making these cringeworthy remarks
I don't get it
Where he is from they call "French Fries" "Chips". What we call "chips" would be called "crisps".
Only British got it....if you eat french fries the u won't understand
This is great. I loved your Discovery channel documentary approach with slight pauses and calm tonality :)
It's amazing how tiny these transistors are. The word 'amazing' is not good enough to even describe how small they are.
I work in the semiconductor industry and its quite hard to comprehend the complexity of some devices. MEMS are my favorite
At 5:49 i think you were on the verge of discovering the true meaning of all things, spoke like a true philosopher
Not 1 minutes in, already subscribed :D
I think your transistors are soulless pieces of the devil's genius. Give me a wholesome vacuum tube, any day. Bright, transparent and visually apparent. You can see the current flow, you can feel an actual warm glow. It's too late for you to see the light because you're enthralled with silicon and germanium, damn your new technology!
Your grandad. xx
thank you Dan, we used 27C128 & -512 for expanding some UHF transcievers, it's good to know how fare tech' has come
It’s mental something like this can be made and work so precisely
something which we can't look properly can be manufactured at absolute precision. mind blowing
Wow Dan, this is such a professional and entertaining video I honestly thought you uploaded it today. You should upload more :D
Nice !!!! Thank you very much
its my FIRST time fully understanding what IC's really are
Yup. I ever worked in microchip factory in 1996. Wafer, dye, compound, gold wire, ect.
working as a cleaner in "bnr" bell northern research i had the pleasure of not having to vacuum a very large space for almost a month while day and night a team of designers poured over a color plotted microchip image looking for a design flaw during pre production .. kinda funny seeing a bunch of guys on there hands and knees following traces and circuits .. it was blown up to about 80x 80 feet and far enough back in history to be a single layer only .. still quite a marvel when you consider that 80 x 80 image compressed to less than 1/4 inch square and they were still using magnification at 80 x 80..
Mike Cartman good stuff! Bad for the designers for sure, not amusing.
Mike Cartman Eventually they found a small black screw from your vacuum cleaner had lodged in between the digits 1 and 7 😞
I had no idea the insides were so small! Thank you for the infoormation!
Those primitive chips were used in vcrs to generate a signals. for example converting composite to RF.
Very informative.
Very interesting....and new knowledge for my old brain....thx a lot 🎼
2077:the potato chips actually do the metal chip's job
thank you
I have no idea what you just talked,but,that thing you explained is awesome,I'm curious,but can you show a video or any idea who were the genius of all this
There are 28 pins and 512,000+ transistors, but with 28 pins you can have exactly 304888344611713860501504000000 combinations of each pin being 1 or 0.
All Microchips need windows
Edit: NOT THE OPERATING SYSTEM
All windows need chips
Wait...
Ghanta ......
Impressive stuff even more so the fact humans invent such things.
Would love to see a high res layer by layer view of these
insane that humans can build stuff like this
That's technically a French Fry, not a chip. Yes, I know, it's called a chip in the UK, but it's not really small enough to be a chip off any thing. It's closer to being a potato wedge.
My god, somehow this video made me feel... happy.
Microchips implanted into people cannot only be tracked but they can be detonated.
Microchips can not only be detonated but,can be controlled to secrete a liquid in your that will kill you.
That's why they're in computers, not people. They're microchips, not RFID tags.
You're saying that like it's some special property of microchips, as if they don't have a near infinite number of alternative purposes.
you have a really good voice for doing creepypasta!!
fuck is creepypasta
"So here's an example of a chip-"
*presents a french fry*
I didn't got the joke until I opened comments.He should have shown a potato chip instead lmao
THAT IS THE MOST CRAZIEST THINGS IVE EVER SEEN! HOLLY CRAP HOW DO THEY MAKE THESE!!?!
Also how can they hold information like how does the write system work
DC4CODE by using electricity to give a bit of data a magnetic or non magnetic charge. Each magnetic or non magnetic charge is is read as 1s and 0s. Which are how computer store information
Machines creating the potential for better machines. *Music plays
Come back man! Completely new watcher and sub and it breaks my heart I wont be seeing anymore of these and the electronic overloading :c
3:30 I was just about to say prolly an address system. Prolly turns each bit into bytes than plugs so many bytes into a pin somehow, would be interesting to find out how they controlled certain bits of one pin. Maybe it's a voltage deal and so much voltage will point to certain bytes and there they can be set but how if it is voltage dependent to select the byte unless they stored the voltage than it sent another voltage to set the bits
After 800x magnification, there can be a special ring light that can be switched on inside the lens itself, and digital zoom can be used beyond it to obtain higher zooms to possibly 1000x zoom levels or even higher without an electron based zoom. Horizontal periscopic lenses will be very good too as they won't use up the vertical zooming ranges.
Puts French fry in table
"Here's a chip"
Thank you for this video! learnt a lot!
Fascinating!
0:37 gives a whole new meaning to "potato pc"
Lmao
we have the same microscope :D
That chip joke was the worst joke in the history of the universe
Nice video... want to see more like these...
i've never seen things in ICs though i am an electronic engineer,,amazing!!
Awesome man!!!
Very nice video!
youtube recommending this in 2021.
enjoyed your video I have an eprom that has had its legs damaged by corrosion I am hoping I can cut away part of the ic to re solder new wires to the damaged stumps. the data on the ic is for lighting control unit and can no longer be available anywhere. I really hope this works but have find way cut a mm into both sides. Tim.
Super ,Thank You
I just learnt about flip-flops, that can contains data, till i see this '-' dude the middle thingy is a flip flop like transistor
whats really sad is how low performance the avarage consumer grade microscope (which im assuming you have) is in this day and time, youd excpect them to zoom in more
Thank you SIR
Its like a city in a micro chip.
Good video, thanks!
In 20 years these chips will be laughable when we see videos like this
imagine technology in the future and further into it to were robots can make themself organic and recreate life again i think that is infinity in some way we cant cope yet one day we will all see the light
so informative
Well seriously :
When I was 6y/o , My dad bought a pc in 2014 and was talking about the core chip to the dealer .
And I thought It was Lays chips
Impressive
Transistor don't store memory. Circuits of transistors (Flip-Flops) and or capacitors -(DRAM) do so.
+Juergen Wolf the eprom transistors have the capacitors in the gate so i guess its not wrong to say the transistor as a whole stores memory
+Ivan Gregoravich
After I informed myself about the special eprom transistor I agree that I was wrong.
can you please come back to youtube, i want more videos
quality like a cellphone of 2003
0:44 i hate when someone make that sound you get a dislike because of that, its not fun at all so disgusting
all semiconductors are working on smoke,if burn smoke going out..am I right?
smoke and pixies yup, you got it
Liked the video cuz of the chip. (French Fry)
That's not a chip. That's a French fry!
next do what's inside atmel.
thanks - very interesting and informative
Imagine trying to wire up each transistor with wires. That's fucking insane.
xmdude626 That's exactly what they did with the first computer, and also the transistor were much much much larger than the one you saw on the video.
billions of them? not something that you could accomplish in your lifetime
Thanks alot it was really helpful.
thank you for sharing
Each micro resistor is controled by the resistor before it its hard to explain but i will try. In order for one micro resistor to produce multiple results i must control the data or current sent to it in the first place. Think of a dimmer switch on a light by increasing the resistence i decrease the light emited wow this is harder to explain than it is to understand lol
why is it all fading blue on the bottom and red on the top?
Amazing
Great video! I created a video about a cpu under the microscope! The circuits looks the same but it's bigger on a cpu! So funny chip at 0:37!
I wonder how this tiny transistor are made.
imagine what intel's 3nm chip technology would look like
Your emotional connection to your technology is illogical. But, in some ways I do concur. It's nice to be able to make things by hand.
Nice ASMR 0:39
Fucking incredible.
So if there are billions transistors in a chip, it is impossible to design that amount and place it inside, can you plant billion trees? it must be a kind of automated process rather than drawing architecture like it is done for planning buildings.
that called a french fry in america. dont know why now that i think about it.
0:38 liked it😂
nice explain bro....
OK well not that I completely understand but from what I'm hearing the transfer of info is simply opening and closing doors(transistors) to designate a 1 or 0. ok that's simple enough but if stored in stackable layers and there is only 1 connection point for thousands or more of transistors how in the world does it know to open door 10,303 and then door 701 etc to get said answer requested from input. 2nd question is if we are capable of this then why are circuit boards so large and why haven't all the components been shrunk to atomic lvl as the chip has? sorry this one is a little over my pay grade and not quite got a layman's answer that I can digest!
E Nonyabis the chip probably uses circuits called demultiplexers or “demuxers” to select a row and colom to output a signal. Demultiplexers have n number inputs and 2^n outputs, if a binary number is entered like 1010 (10) then it will turn on input 10.
And why circuit boards aren't atomic sized? Because that would be impractical, most circuit boards are used to connect components, if they were small it would just make it difficult to connect components.
Probably
Can you tell us more about these demultiplexers, please?
La Fo ua-cam.com/video/1prCy3kdy1U/v-deo.html it's best explained visually.
potatoes chips
lmao
I didn’t expect to see you here how’s it goin
3 year ago
Mexicans made the microchip wow
There's Evil Inside. Dun-Den-Dun-Din.
voice like butter. so soothing
Triggered your ASMR?
TRIGGERED
Fuzz FM - stoner rock radio what r you? Gay?
Thanks babe
Before I read the comments, I was thinking about posting this video on facebook as a relaxing moods track. Speaks his mind truthfully and humbly, and a very interesting video.
I feel like I’m not worthy to know this
