Can the process be streamlined into a single amateur-friendly device/lab? Yes, I mean a chip printer, as a commercial product.

- Nokinside 9y agoChip printer that would make IC's that are better than what amateur can make from readily available cheap components on a PCB board would be used in the industry first. There is small number of field-programmable analog array (FPAA) products and FPGA/FPAA hybrids in the market. I hope they become better and more available (never used one myself).
- pasabagi 9y agoI think the chemicals would be the rub. HF is very nasty, as is 'piranha solution'. Both are extremely corrosive, obviously - so it would be hard to build a 'printer' that could deal with the handling and disposal. Not to mention, a lot of the dopants are pretty nasty too.
