Product Description:
This book takes the reader through the actual manufacturing process of making a typical chip, from start to finish, including a detailed discussion of each step, in plain language. The evolution of today's technology is added to the story, as seen through the eyes of the engineers who solved some of the problems. The authors are well suited to that discussion since they are three of those same engineers. They have a broad exposure to the industry and its technology that extends all the way back to Shockley Laboratories, the first semiconductor manufacturer in Silicon Valley.

The CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) process flow is the focus of the discussion and is covered in ten chapters. The vast majority of chips made today are fabricated using this general method. In order to ensure that all readers are comfortable with the vocabulary, the first chapter carefully and clearly introduces the science concepts found in later chapters. A chapter is devoted to pointing out the differences in other manufacturing methods, such as the gallium arsenide technology that produces chips for cell phones. In addition, a chapter describing the nature of the semiconductor industry from a business perspective is included.

"The entire process of making a chip is surprisingly easy to understand. The part of the story that defies belief is the tiny dimensions: the conducting wires and other structures on a chip are more than a hundred times thinner than a hair - and getting thinner with every new chip design."

* Included CD gives the reader a much greater comprehension of the process than a strictly print book with static illustrations provides
* Authors are actual engineers who have a broad range of exposure and experience with chip technology
* Contains a unique chapter describing the nature of the semiconductor industry from a business perspective



Summary: explains a key industry
Rating: 4
The making of semiconductor chips underpins much of modern civilisation. From these chips are built computers (of course), and all sorts of devices with embedded logic or memory. Think microwave ovens, cars and trains. It would help greatly if the average person has some appreciation of the basic concepts of chip making. Demystifies a very important industry. Thus the authors should be commended for a well written explanation. Replete with numerous diagrams.

The core concepts are easy to grasp, as the authors show. But the book also explains why a modern chip factory [fab] can be billions of dollars. As we push the limits of manufacture down to basic physical constraints, the costs rise terribly.
