 Semiconductor device fabrication

Semiconductor device fabrication is the process used to create integrated circuits (ICs) and other semiconductor devices, which are essential components in a vast array of electronic devices ranging from smartphones to computers, healthcare equipment, and automotive systems. This complex procedure involves several steps that transform raw materials, primarily silicon, into functional electronic components.

This is the lowest level of abstraction computer, at which the basic gates and power are described.

At this level, you are basically thinking about the 3D layered structure of a chip, and how to make machines that will allow you to create better, usually smaller, gates.
