④ What are semiconductors?

Materials used to create the "brains" of everyday electronic devices

What is a semiconductor?A special material that can switch between allowing electricity to flow and not flowing.is.

This property is used in various electronic devicesThe chip that acts as the "brain"It will be processed into this.

Taking photos with your smartphone, making cashless payments... semiconductors are at work behind the scenes of each of these actions. We don't usually think about it, but semiconductors support our convenient modern lives.

From wafer to product: The process of creating a semiconductor chip.

From wafer to product

~How semiconductor chips are made~

SEMICONDUCTOR MANUFACTURING PROCESS

On one wafer

Forming multiple identical circuits

Cut the wafer,

Separate into this chip

Inspect the chip and the electronic components

Assembled as a (semiconductor chip)

Electronic components inside a smartphone

It will be installed

A tiny chip contains a wealth of technology. Many of the convenient products around us are supported by this semiconductor technology.
