Sand to Silicon - The Making of a Chip (Full Screen) | Intel
/ intel
You know, they have invented this new unbeliavable tecnhology called 'words'. It's amazing, you can explain things in the meanwile. Astonishing.
I literally learnt nothing from watching this except that it looks cool.

I'm taking a basic semiconductors course in college right now, and from what I know, they first heat silicon so that it naturally creates a lattice crystal structure, then they cut it into slices along a certain orientation of the crystal for specific electrical properties, then they cut wells into the silicon chip to essentially map out space for each transistor. Then they create each transistor by doping different areas of the transistor. Then they layout the chip + connect layers..very vague
Thanks for this explanation
wow this video explains absolutely ...nothing
If they explained it too well we might start getting multi million dollars ideas ourself
@@matthewpeter4034 that's so crazy
Poly may think you probably already know the function of a transistor.. A, and it's the Reason why it's Algorithm would make a quick Advance (we're no Competition to her😂)video😅
You telling me that i bought sand from you, guys, for like hundred+ USD?
Alex usa throw some sand inside your computer and see if that makes your computer faster.
Alright. I got the sand in there but not seeing any change. Is there a driver I'm supposed to download for the sand?
I want to know how they make the actual transistors, not the finished product....
They did show that - but they didn't explain it. The lens flashing part is etching the locations of all the transistors on the silicon. The green bits deep inside the silicon wafer are where the silicon is doped by adding in some phosphorus or boron atoms to make it locally conductive in those places (by increasing/decreasing covalence electrons in the silicon wafer). But that on its own does not conduct electricity (that is the off-state of the transistor). Then they add those yellow bits (in the video) which are an insulated gate on the transistor - those gates can either be powered on or off, which causes an electric field, and that electric field allows electricity to flow between the two green parts (source and drain of the transistor). That's all they are: they create tiny MOSFETS (field effect transistors) with a source, drain, and gate terminals that can either allow electrons to flow through those locally doped areas of the silicon, or not (the 2 binary states).
I got it! make a ball of red (LIQUID)sand,drop a pint of it,take out,make a weird cylinder,cut it in three parts,take two(they're useless)make it spin until its blue,make some textures on the disc taking photos somehow,zooming,making every square a yellow highway that makes the disc orange,throw some sawblades into it and make perfectly squares and put it in a chip,that gets plastic over it.
#TotallyNotComplex but where do i get the texture-maker-camera,the sand-cyllinder converter,the yellow-orange tiny roads,the mecha-floating-arm and the red ball of liquid sand?
ALSO I NEED THE FLYING SAWBLADE AT THE START ;+;
Followed your instructions, made an AMD microprocessor instead...
I shouldn't have trusted that guy in the alley selling red sand...
You just described a i5 perfectly 👌
@@daawsumericson4082 plus, if you want to make a i9,
you just have to do two more things:
1. Put 2 chips into the die instead of one
2. put a larger number @ the price tag
ok so you get sand from the sahara desert... you heat and melt it into a glob from which the silver surfer emerged... Then you cut it into discs you call wafers (which do not look anything like the vanilla wafer cookies I eat mind you)... then you shine light from the eye of aurora from mythical legend (as is foretold) , which is then deflected through a prism from the sands of time to allow a colony of piping systems to form on the round disc you call a flat wafer. In time this creates a society or colony, in which you segregate and cut into sectors based on social class and dispose of the lower classes... and sell the higher and middle social classes as memory storing communities which you in turn profit from...
I see... Thank you Intel. All is clear now... Intel chips are made using Ancient Alien Technology...
KornShaDoW097 this is so underrated lol
YES!! Someone gets it! hahaha 🤣
Obviously this video is meant for normal people with no background knowledge in electronics engineering, which is why its extremely simplified.
The actual process would take many different area of expertise to be able to comprehend different part of the processes.
favorite part is the creations of the transistors.
wished I had this animation back in college.
It was amazing.
Awesome video Intel! I think this is a great demonstration for showing people how microprocessors are made.
I wonder if Intel can make potato chips too?
It's imposible.
Man you can find derps everywhere.
it's called Intel(R) Photo(TM) insde :D
Tux ㄸ!
ㅟㄴㄱㄸㅂ. ㅇㅈ든ㅅᆞㄴᆞㄴᆢ52ㄷㅈㄷㅈㅅ ㅊ튼ㅅㄴㅅㄹㅅㄹㅇᆞㅅ ㅎㄹᆞ
Tux derbs
I understood the process, now i'm gonna make one for myself
well this was very deep, you should make an overview of the process.
WOW? They make it from sand, I had no idea, imagine the profit in processors :O
"2." part is doping silicon with phosphorus, spin coating photoresist, etching with ultraviolet laser, cleaning etched parts with distilated water, doping exposed areas with boron ion, heating silicon in order to change silicon atoms with boron atoms in lattice, coating exposed areas and photoresist layer with silicon dioxide for making dielectric layer between "emitter, collector" and "base, and coating with copper for connections and repeating this process minimum 50 times. and some packaging
I hadn't seen a video like this !
This video can make u understand a process which took a lot of time and hard work and money of course in just >> 2
Make the expensive Sand
Nicely idealized -- with no hazardous byproducts -- no underpaid indigenous people. Cool!
woooow thats so informative and i can even make my own chips xD
I'm I the only one who thought that whole disk was gonna be the processor?
not apparently
1:05 it looks like someone building a place in minecraft with a block.
Cgi thumbnail pretty much explained what i needed to know
sand is 100~400$....
For 10 tons.
from here we learn how the microprocessor is made
@NBurbine I know, my friend has a 6 core one. I was talking about a processor called "Intel Multicore"
they get sand, heat it up till it is molten sand which turns into glass, its like a crystal. the glass is cut into wafers and high voltage lasers burn thousands of images into the glass which is cut into tiny chips.
i have no idea how it grows into shapes like that.
they make it look easy in this video. ;)
@351GTCOUPE obviously you don't know what are you talking about. First semiconductor device invented was the "diode" in 1870 far earlier than Roswell (1947), semiconductors existed since then. If you are talking about the transistor, people were trying to produce a working transistor as early as 1920 but it was John Bardeen who finally succeded in 1947 , he worked at AT&T Bell Labs, and he was smart enough to win 2 nobel prices, Bell Labs registered the patent. Stop reading UFO magazines.
No, i watched this with my eyes on a Philips television. Also an Radeon 5990 made the hdmi signal and processed the triangles, the Intel i7 920 processor just had processed Windows API, and Flash logic.
Any similar videos with a narration voice over?
If I had seen this video in my 12th standard 7years back I would have done engineering in ECE. Saw anti gravity wheel video in you tube and boom.. I am a mechanical engineer now.
1:32 I have one of those suction-cup like things on the end of that arm!
the process in making the chips isn't cheap.. plus the sand has to be very very pure i mean you cant just go to the beach and get some sand and then melt it
Ok there was 720 version of this, great.
Name also u should mention like what material it is , exposure to which light example UV or IR, video should understand to every eletronics engineering . For upcoming video try to mention the material name used or try to explain by voice.all your video are very nice
I stay and I try to explain things here in the present, I'm not explaining myself and the past I'm being teleported here from the madman.
1:15 *One flying saw isn't enough*
Any chance of someone telling us whats happening?
Understandable
All right, thanks :D
Sounds good. Could you tell me the url?
sand is not the source of silicon use in Chips. It came from a more consentrated source.
Old core 2 duos, feels nostalgic. I have one even now.
no its core i7
no its core i7
Thanks to this video I now know how to make a processor! (but first imma grab some sand at the beach)
@janani0726 you need a microwave to melt that silicon into a solid ingot. 3 minutes on max power should be good
The cutter is like ambush
Love intel. Love innovation.
Making processor isn't hard to make at home with the right equipment.(Prepare for over 9000 million debt) However, the large sum of data and math to produce a processor will make you give up easily. It is almost like making epic graphics 3 star game by yourself. ~One of my friend is a chip designer :3 Thanks for the Info.
that was cool!
@The123jeffrey so, are celeron CPUs made from chips near the edge?
Published on Nov 7, 2009
1:17 yoo watch out!
This music is just downright scary on 2x
Holy shit an HD video in 2009
what's that at 1:22?
super....
what happens to the chips at the edge of the wafer? so they just throw it out?
where is the wire bonding process die to package? or it bga soldered
yeah
1:05--1:10 process of ICs on wafer in real video
like thin wire bonding of chip with circuit video...
Anybody....
Such high prices for so easy work?
Sand=silicon
Silicon=chip
Sand=chip
good to know this, now I can make my own CPU from just some sand and now I never have to buy one again
intel should update this to 8K maybe
I want the new Intel Multi-Core! Is it faster than a Core i7?
so I understand the initial process, I still don't get how those square connectors get there, are they installed by tinkle fairy?
@351GTCOUPE I hope your joking.. Its not like Intel invented the process or even the plans. Its small breakthroughs combined to form a bigger breakthrough. :-)
Good!
it heats up like sand
Now I understand why there are incomplete chips on the edge of silicon wafers...
Not in my experience. They are basically i3s with something lower than i3s such as a lower clock speed, less cache, etc.
thumbs up if u watched this with a amd cpu
the silicon wafer has microscopic transistors that allw the passage of current to a certain extent and then resist it sending impulses to the main host and thus carry ou the work...as it's very very very small impulses are send 1000000000 times a second ! and we perceive a digital manipulated display!! quite simple!!
Is it informational? No.
Is it entertaining? Definitely.
piece of cake!
Nice 😀
Nice graphics!
굿
Круто
anyways iirc they sold good 'oc chips' w different sku iirc, amd did that too w phenoms back then
or mfg numbers exactly, actually dk what sku is lul
i do this all the time at home
Why? We are far beyond Pentium as a mainstream processor. The Pentium line still exists, but only as budget CPUs.
oh *that* explains it!
there are more steps in backend processes. Electronics packaging is not as easy as shown in the video.
Yeah soo magic.
1:18
Nice
and imagine how much money they make out of this
It's a verry complicated process, without the right equipment, no.
what proggrame creating this ??? pls
so many freewheeling saw blades o.o
This is not how a cpu is made, this is an animation of things happening... and no one wanted to explain what is going on... kind of pointless tbh
Tutorial please?
you do realise the production costs are immense?
@Jimbobmoe01 can you plzz email me how did you do step by step in writing? I appreciate that .
you forgot the part where u give it free to me ;)
BEFORE I SEE: I think it's removing oxygen to get silicon, as sand is silicon dioxide I think
이분들이 진짜 땅파서 장사하는거지
