How Entrepreneurs Make a CPU

How entrepreneurs make something out of nothing! Purify it to 99.999999% molten silicon. Dope it with some of highly localized hetero epitaxy, Now you've got unpackaged And that's how you make a CPU.

A fast-paced educational-style video shows the absurdly elaborate process of turning a rock into a finished CPU, using footage of silicon, lab equipment, wafers, and a presenter. The joke is that “making something out of nothing” is presented as entrepreneurship, while the narration compresses an immense semiconductor-manufacturing process into a ridiculous DIY-style recipe. Deadpan technical speech, accented by music or a documentary-like presentation, makes the escalating complexity and final CPU reveal funnier.

First, get a rock. Then smash the rock. Now, you've got 98% concentrated silicon dioxide. Now purify it to 99.9% pure silicon dioxide. Purify it to 99.999,999%, polysilicon metal. Put the polysilicon ingots into a crucible. Heat the silicon ingots to 1,698 degrees Kelvin. Take a small seed monocrystal and dip it into the vat of molten silicon. Slowly pull the crystal out, as it cools. Now you've got a monocrystal of pure silicon. Next, cut the monocrystalline silicon naked into thin slices. Now you've got pristine freshly cut silicon wafers. Dope it with some boron or phosphorus. Put photoresist on the wafer. Take your chromium-etched photolithographic quartz mask and shine a laser beam through it onto the wafer. The shadows produced by the photomask will control the location of highly localized chemical reactions on the surface of the silicon wafer. Now develop the photoresist. Acid etch the exposed parts of the wafer. Wash away the leftover photoresist. Now do some Homo epitaxy, Hedro epitaxy, Pseudo epitaxy, Diffusion doping, Copper interconnects, Chemical mechanical polishing. Now you've got a finished silicon wafer. Cut your silicon wafer into pieces. Now you've got unpackaged silicon dies. Locate the pads on the silicon chip and attach bond wires. The bond wires provide an electrical connection between the pins on the chip package And that's how you make a C-
