Semiconductor device fabrication: History, Events & Technology

Semiconductor device fabrication is the process used to manufacture semiconductor devices, typically integrated circuits (ICs) such as microprocessors, microcontrollers, and memories (such as RAM and flash memory). It is a multiple-step photolithographic and physico-chemical process, with steps such as thermal oxidation, thin-film deposition, ion…
