Rajiv Raghu : Awesome! After doing my engineering in electronics for 4 years.. now I know wot is a semiconductor :)
Dr. Thrax : Best demo of semiconductors basic principles I've ever seen in my life, thank you.
No seriously, thank you, this is a great demo.
Moximbonu Tursunboyeva : just ideal. You explained 2 hour lecture in almost 5 minutes, I admire you bro.
Oso N : we need this taught in grade school!
Desiree Rose : Thank you Jamie! You've made this all understandable. As a senior, I'm grateful! Great job!

Semiconductor production process explained

Humble sand. This is what the building blocks of the future are made of. But making them is a long process comprising a great many steps. In this video we're explaining how semiconductors are made - from sand. More: https://www.bosch.com/stories/bosch-chip-factory-dresden/

‘Semiconductor Manufacturing Process’ Explained | 'All About Semiconductor' by Samsung Semiconductor

What is the process by which silicon is transformed into a semiconductor chip?
As the second most prevalent material on earth, silicon is used in the semiconductor manufacturing process to produce cutting-edge chips.
In this process, eight steps are involved: wafer manufacturing, oxidation, photolithography, etching, deposition and ion implantation, metal wiring, electrical die sorting, and packaging.
This video will provide you with a detailed explanation of the eight steps and how a material can become a semiconductor.

You officially become an expert on semiconductors the moment you start watching this video.

@berndschneider9277 : Nicely done video that I think is fun for newbies. Nitpick: The spoken comment says "implementation" twice where is should be "implantation".
