Wafer fabrication area - CHM Revolution
In the 1960s, operators could wear street clothes in fabrication areas because the dimensions of transistors and interconnects on an IC were much larger than typical dust particles.
Wafers in a diffusion furnace - CHM Revolution
Wafers are placed in a high-temperature furnace to diffuse chemical dopants into the silicon in selective areas defined by “windows” etched through the oxide. The windows are defined by …
Processed wafer - CHM Revolution
This processed wafer is finished and ready for testing.
IC assembly - CHM Revolution
ICs in the 1960s typically had only 6 to 16 leads. With the aid of high quality microscopes, skilled operators were able to manipulate ultrasonic welders and attach tiny wires to contact pads and …
