How they make computer chips.mp4How they make Computer Chips
All computers, phones, and tablets use silicon chips to process data. Both Windows computers and Apple computers use these machines to create their chips.
To create these computer chips, they shine a laser at a droplet of tin. The process melts the tin into a plasma, which creates UltraViolet light. This UV light is reflected through precise mirrors into a stencil that prints the chip designs on a thin silicon sheet.
