Silicon is probably the single most studied element on earth. Over the past seventy years, people have researched more ways to cut it, etch it, grind it, clean it, crystallize it, polish it than almost anything else.

Engineers have done amazing things to turn this plentiful shiny rock into the century’s most impactful piece of technology. And the wafer industry needs some love for those achievements.

So in this video, we are going to talk about the decades of research and stunning engineering that have gone into creating today’s cuttingedge semiconductor wafers.
