These few slides have expressed conceptual descriptions of the major process steps involved in semiconductor manufacturing. It is not intended that this is an exhaustive or complete list of the 400-plus steps that are typically used to make semiconductors.

We hope that you have enjoyed this tour through chipmaking with us, and encourage you to visit the rest of our website and subscribe to our publications. On a weekly and monthly basis, we write about different elements of semiconductor manufacturing, the companies and the markets.

In the full seminar presentations, we go into more detail on each process step; describe the challenges and opportunities associated with each step; describe some of the new emerging technologies; discuss the Technology Roadmap critical issues; and identify the companies who participate in each sector.

Thank you for joining our tour!
