Well, I was there in the late 90's and don't recall that anecdote. Most of the people in the fab shuttle the lots from station to station. Some even look at porn and get high while waiting (that's my anecdote, clean room alarms went bananas when he lit up). And robots that zip around the ceiling and drop down in dangerous areas do the rest.
Mind citing your anecdote? I realize I wasn't in every fab, but it's not rocket science, even on 300mm and beyond.
- rhelz 3y agochuckle Asking for further justification is always fair play, and I don't mind being checked....but I'm kind of a loss as to what to cite. It wasn't something I read in a book, it was lived experience. But, I mean when you say: > clean room alarms went bananas when he lit up you might have answered your own question...that stuff may have flied when we were at 180 nanometers, but lets face it, there's only so far down the road of Moore's law you can travel with people who smoke in a clean room...
- demondemidi 3y agoJust show me where PhDs are needed to wheel a batch of wafers from the litho room to the bath. I'll wait.
- rhelz 3y agoIf you think that is the bulk of what people in fabs do, well… obviously you aren’t a golfer.

- demondemidi 3y agoThere's thousands of people working at D1X. They are not all PhDs. Your initial post is just some made up BS polluting hacker news. I really like this site, but if you want points for storytelling, go to slashdot or reddit.
