Every chip starts as a giant crystal cylinder
HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART
The foundation of the modern digital era is essentially just high-tech farming. Before becoming complex microchips, pure silicon is melted in a crucible and a 'seed' crystal is slowly pulled upward, growing a massive, perfectly uniform crystalline cylinder. These heavy logs are then sliced like deli meat to create the wafers that power everything.
One discovery leads to another.
