Here is a blog on home IC production: http://sam.zeloof.xyz/first-ic/ http://sam.zeloof.xyz/first-ic/
Having done some work in a university lab, I have no desire to be involved in silicon work in a home environment. It requires dangerous chemicals, and lots of equipment and dedication.
A short list of what I remember:
- Spin coater
- Some solution of exposure of masks
- Various chemical baths (HH, piranha, etc) in a dedicated area.
- Inspection microscope
- Tube oven
- Vapor deposition
- A way to measure film thickness
- chongli 7y agoI wonder if at some point we'll develop new materials and techniques that make it easier to do this, with safer chemicals and less equipment. It may seem far-fetched but you never know. When I was a kid I would've thought it pretty far-fetched that people could 3D print ventilator valves at home that are actually saving lives during a pandemic.
