How difficult is it to create silicon chips and why?
In: 221
I might be imagining things, but it seems everybody is answering a more detailed question than was asked. OP hasn’t asked how difficult it is to create *modern high end* silicon chips. I, for one, would love to know what the barrier to entry would be to manufacturing a first gen IC like they made in the 60’s. For instance, could someone make an Apple II cpu chip in their garage? What about something simpler like a 555 timer? If the world fell apart, how hard would it be to make just a single transistor?
