How Do Semiconductors Work? Introduction to SiliWiz

Introduction to SiliWiz

SiliWiz will help you get a basic understanding of how semiconductors work and are manufactured at a fundamental level. Semiconductors are the most important technology of the 21st century but only a tiny fraction of us know how they work or are designed and made.

Completing and understanding all the lessons will take around 3 hours.

Audience

• Curious people who are probably over the age of 14
• High schools, universities
• People who want to get a better understanding of how microelectronics function and how they are made.

Aims

• Draw your own logic gate and understand how that gate would be manufactured in a foundry.
• Learn how the gate is built out of the fundamental circuit elements used in chip design
• Understand how the drawings are used to manufacture the chip
• Be aware of some of SiliWiz’s limitations and simplifications
