From Sand To Silicon: The Making of a Chip | Intel
/ intel
0:11 - siO2 (quartz) crystal goes under refining process to convert impure si into metallurgical grade si, then using Czochralski process
electronic grade si is obtained which is a ultra pure si crystal also known as si ingot ( cylindrical shape - 0:28 ).
0:34 - si ingot is cut in nano meter size width & having disc shape
0:47 -doping is done and diodes & transistors are fabricated using VLSI technology to create billions of logic gates on a single si chip.
1:18 - finally wafer dicing is done & resulting IC chip is known as microcomputer or more specifically a microprocessor ( name given by INTEL corporation ).
1:36 - ic chip is encapsulated in a metal case also called package and your INTEL core i7 processor is ready..
Thanks Bro, by seeing the video, I understood only the refining process.

urderated comment!!!
Urderated comment! Challenge intel !!
Wow, come back in a 1000 years! Cuz it's 1000 years too soon for you guys to challenge Intel corporation!
They taught you wrong! All humans are NOT same! Just Try to make a single transistor on your own. You will know who you're dealing with

*_UA-cam knows me better. It took 9 years for them to show me what would've been useful during my engineering days_*
Spoke Fists rip
What field of Engineering are you in
I would love to be in your field then. What courses did you do?
Lmao
999th liker of yours
Don't forget to cut your silicon wafers with flying saw blade from home depot that's used for wood.
The Intel secret!
Very critical process
Ha Ha Ha
Tryed it the glass break every time
I'd imagine it would also take big-brain telekinesis to make my own processors as well.
240p!!! really?!

+Ricardo Oporto This video was uploaded in 2009.
+QuantumGamingStudio1 yes, by "Intel" in 240p
Ricardo Oporto probably rendered this on a Celeron
its 8 years old video...
ok, I have sand and chainsaw.. what is that projector thing? I have a HD beamer, what should the sand watch?
a design of CPU print, just like old photography portrait print.

This is really incredible the amount of tech going into something taken for granted and used on a daily basis is staggering.
The music sounds like, I'm at some African traditional ceremony
Adarsh Verma yeah

To think that a chip starts out from sand... it's truly amazing how advanced technology has become in these years. We can only imagine what's to come.
how long have you been working there... BRO.
?
@@buddhafollower Its amazing how you can make such judgments , with mere grain knowledge of this vast, sand like universe.
Flying cars
Overpopulation just one of many fun things to experience in the year 2030. Stop reproducing.
Processing units like this one really are the most advanced technology humans were able to achieve. Billions of gates on a flat surface on size 1x1 inch ².... Beat that
I see Intel is still trying to push there graphics accelerators as being the best?...... Just look at this stunning 3D demonstration that answered almost none of your original questions, but left you with many more new ones?.........
It's competition
@B Developer and he comented 3 years ago

@One boi well ya got me there
@One boi actually no bro compare 2 years to a month, thats 24x more time, so i guess when people ask you how much food you want you say between 1 to 24 piece? what?
Recommend after 9 years.. UA-cam!
saw these around 2016
i still suggest not go deep on techs esp games and audios, itll ruin your 'wow experience'
they all worth the money, thats it, and just enjoy techs
2024😂😂
I'll never understand how far we've come to make tiny yet powerful things.
After 15 years, just now seeing this incredible process is awe-inspiring! It's absolutely fascinating to witness the journey from sand to silicon. The precision and innovation in chip manufacturing are truly mind-blowing. Hats off to Intel for showcasing this amazing process!
No one:
Literally on one:

They actually suspend the silicon wafer in the air with cables as a constant stream of buzz saws are fired at the wafer out of a cannon.
You forgot the part where aliens intervene
I have mud in my city will it be ok...? Can I be the competitor?
nope. u'll need sand :')
Yaa bring that to my company i will pay you for that
Just sell the mud and let the customer do the assembly.
Pure sand only.
"mud"
me too
Their video isn't very informative for a reason; competition.
Kyle Bowman Their competition already knows how to make simiconductors. It's relatively not that hard if you have the right equipment.
true... not very hard, only complex...
Andreas G. Really complex, about a few hundred procedures.
There's a thing called amd
the competitors would do something pretty similar already
1:16 this explains why Intel has been hiring all those ninjas each year via craigslist.

9 years later when youtube recommends me this. We need a 2019 revision...
A chip of silicon a quarter-inch square has the capacity of the original 1949 ENIAC computer, which occupied a city block.
aliens
The 1949 ENIAC "computer" was nothing more than a giant abacus... :P
Not really. ENIAC was.. how do I say it? Beyond obsolete. More of an extreme artifact than anything else. In fact, you could probably fit the entire ENIAC on a tiny silicon wafer slightly larger than a grain of sand.
Modern technology can render 3D graphics at thousands of frames per second. (Ironically, this is wasted on the crappy 60HZ monitor you have.)
You can fit an entire 1949 ENIAC in my €5,00 multi meter or in a tamagotchi...
After 10 years UA-cam recommends this. WOW!
After 9 years of uploading this video
UA-cam : *let's put this video in everyone's recommendations*
Jajaja YES!
Please Intel update the video quality too too 2k, we dont need 240p anymore
Glad they recommended me after 9 years after this was uploaded......or else Intel would have had me as their competitor....
The funky music is essential for the manufacturing process.

After 10 Years I am getting this in my recommendations......Just WoW
Thanks you tube for recomending this to me 9 years later
Currently I'm in my forth year of under-graduation. I am doing my bachelor in Electrical & Electronics Engineering and majoring in Electronics. This video just mocked my 2 years of major courses of 4 years of Bachelor.
Great.
1:50 is that a condom box?
Processed condoms

randomly recommended after 15 year
I'm pretty sure they didn't use the saw to cut the chips into individual pieces. The vibration would shatter it.
They are using water jet cutting system..
240p looks great the era
That's how intel works
thanks for recommending me this after 9 years youtube!
@acmefixer1 Its not the silicon, its the equipment, labor, designers, and accuracy to make a chip.
Worked for intel way back. While this is not as detailed, there is testing of the wafers and packaged chips in the process too. I designed hardware for testing these before.
10 Years Old Video !
Wow. UA-cam.
Why is this recommended after NINE GOT DAMMIT YEARS.
My brain looks like one of those processors. It’s very cool.
Alright, Time to make my i9 25th gen unlocked special edition
9 years later I'm ready to be recommend this video.
10yrs ago video is in recommended
Wow superbs sir
_When you are cheking UA-cam recommended section_
Well, at least it's a very interesting video.
Intel is truly intel!!
i get it Sandy Bridge
it took UA-cam 15 years to show me this. I was a third grade student when this was released!
I was looking for this from last 4 years, good overview.
just even a tiny bit of narration would make this video like million times better.
0:47 ........... Huh
What
The machine at 1:21 sounds like Owen Wilson saying wow! at different degrees of excitement.
If it was this simple
Wow Such an satisfying clip...!
Am I too entitled for wishing this was a real explanation instead of an animation where buzz saws cut a bunch of wafers
No wonder their yields are terrible on 10nm, they need to ditch the buzz saws for something like a pizza cutter
@@jamesdavies686 LMFAO
@@jamesdavies686 lmao
They made a remake version
UA-cam seriously gonna give me an Intel ad on an intel video
,🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😌
If I put 1/2 kg sand in my cpu socket. How many GHz/THz will I get?
So you sell your chips for hundrets of dollars? You need 2:10 to make them lol
The is a mask that is used to create the pattern. Uv light is used and shined upon the mask, areas that are covered on the mask then no UV light gets through. THere is a photoresist on the substrate. Whenever UV light shines on the photoresist areas that are exposed become soluble in a NaOH solution. Once the exposed photoresist in removed there is an etching that happens, like HF hydrofluoric acid.The remaining photoresist actually resist the etching of HF. THis process is repeated many times.
when they didn't get any machinery sound effect but had an angry cat meowing sound effect
My question is, which I haven’t been able to find an answer to so maybe someone scrolling through the comments might know, how are the chips designed?
Do they have a team of engineers placing every single transistor?
Hi! We are glad that you are eager to know. We have a team of specialized engineers that spearhead the fabrication and designing of chips from start to finish before being shipped to customers and retailers worldwide.

Wow intel actually replied to a 11year old video
One of the biggest tech companies in the world,
_has max quality of 240p_
A 9-year-old video so yeah
Intel is intelligent enough to make computer chips but can't have videos made in better quality.
It's a 2009 video.
Did youtube even support 1080p in 2009?
Dont think so.
Yep, that really clears everything up.
intel hd graphics demo
Congratulations with the ten years video! You are almost as old as the people who will watch this video!
bet this was rendered with a Ryzen CPU
In 2009?
@B3X if ryzen could render 1080p, why couldn't it render 240p?
@B3X Paul r/woooosh
u ryzen user, u guys all triggered XD
hows it now
Great video but can be more helpful with labeling and higher resolution
Minimum 720p.

The chip: me
The saws: when she say she like you as a friend
I have a lot of interest in semiconductors!
Instructions unclear: turned sand into glass
This will be my perfect high school science project tnks !
The chips are not made of desert sand they are made of sand under the ocean
oh really me and the boys were about to invade middle east for desert sand,now we have to dig sea sand near us.😅😂
The AMD one made me cry, this one didn't do a thing. I still love Intel, but the magic inside the AMD brought tears to my eyes. Especially at the end, when everything comes together and the AMD Logo is Shown. Classic and Memorable.
UA-cam, why 10 years after, why ?
Who is watching in 2020?
And one more thing you have not searched for this....
Anyone else at their recomandation in 2019????

Hurm...AMD had explanations going on. I prefer AMDs video for learning knowledge pertaining to CPU production. I mean seriously...I thought Intel at least thinks about stuff before doing it.

just wanted to remind you that you commented on this video 7 years ago 😂😂😂😂
Somehow, in the middle, you can hear the metal arms getting excited, by just hearing the sounds as it moves lol...
Instructions not clear. Made an AMD chip. 😬
That joke didn't age well.
