Eli5: How are logic gates made?

Question

Logic gates such as NAND can create other logic gates, but how are the very basic ones made and mass produced?

Answer 1

Logic gates are generally made using transistors. Ready made logic chips are just chips with the transitors in the die already. The initial transistor are made by a processing called “doping” which alters the characteristics when electricity is passed through it. I don’t understand the process well enough to give an ELI5 answer however.
