  • From laptops to mobile phones to connected cars and homes, memory and storage are helping change how the world works, plays, communicates and connects. Check out this behind the scenes look at Micron’s state of the art fabrication process for how memory chips are made - from initial design all the way through testing and packaging.

    This was really cool to see. The machine adding the gold wires was insanely fast. I know us folks often complain about prices of SSDs, etc. But it's hard to imagine how much work goes into all this. Especially when all you see is just a fairly plain black rectangle on some semi-interesting PCB. 1 month to create? With 100s of steps? Thanks for posting this.

      Yes, it is impressive. And it years to determine and design the 1000s (not just 100s) of process steps so the memory bits can be ever smaller but with very high yields. And THEN a given chip goes through all these steps over a month. Amazing. The number of bits in a $100 SSD has increased by amazing amounts over the last 10, 20 years.

    Finally I know why Micron delete its old version "How we make our product".
    Because here comes the newer version.
    In this new version during Assembly/Test, less human repetitive work, more robotic automated work.

    I like it how with each generation, whether it be Samsung, Micron or Hynix; they all have their premier time.. and their equalisation time. Usually Samsung is first, but have yet to see a generation of GDDR or DDR where Micron or Hynix did not catch up or even surpass. Micron are more impressive by merit that they often push the cutting edge despite being so small. Samsung and Hynix have other sectors to draw off for a rough year.

      If you search "micron new fab" you can find articles about some recent ones they are building/have built. It cost about $4B for a NAND fab recently. I heard a different company is building a DRAM fab in China, they expect to spend $8B on it. So probably you would need to raise something like $5-10B USD.
