Purpose Of Lesson Part 7 Learn how this marvel called an Integrated Circuit (IC) is designed, manufactured, and how it works.
VOCABULARY FOR THIS LESSON CONDUCTOR INSULATOR TRANSISTOR SEMICONDUCTOR. SUPERCONDUCTOR CLEAN ROOM PHOTOLITHOGRAPHY
CONDUCTOR • ANY MATERIAL THAT CAN CONDUCT (CARRY) ELECTRONS (ELECTRICITY). • CAN YOU NAME SOME?
INSULATOR • ANY MATERIAL THAT STOPS THE FLOW OF ELECTRONS.
TRANSISTORS • TWO TYPES NPN AND PNP. • CAN STOP OR START THAT FLOW OF ELECTRONS. • CAN BOOST THE FLOW OF ELECTRONS.
SEMICONDUCTOR • ON SEMICONDUCTOR IS SILICON • SILICON IS THE MOST ABUNDANT ELEMENT IN THE EARTH’S CRUST • BASICALLY GLASS • CAN EITHER CONDUCT OR INSULATE DEPENDING ON HOW ITS TREATED!
SUPERCONDUCTORS • CONDUCT ELECTRONS WITHOUT LOSING ANY!! • NO HEAT GIVEN OFF!!! • ALL THAT WE HAVE ARE ONES THAT WORK WHILE VERY COLD!!!
SUPERCONDUCTORS • Scientist are looking for a room temperature superconductor for years now with no luck. • If they find one it will revolutionize the WORLD AS WE KNOW IT!!!! • Superconductors also exhibit almost magical properties!
CLEAN ROOM • ROOM THAT IS KEPT 100,000 TIMES CLEANER THAN AN OPERATION ROOM. COST BILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO BUILD ROOMS THIS CLEAN!!!!!
PHOTOLITHOGRAPHY • USING LIGHT TO PRINT THINGS DOWN TO JUST A COUPLE DOZEN MICRONS WIDE!!!
WE HAVE DISCUSSED CONDUCTOR INSULATOR TRANSISTOR SEMICONDUCTOR. SUPERCONDUCTOR CLEAN ROOM PHOTOLITHOGRAPHY
