How do they design/create chip with billions of small transistor?

258 views

When we talk about a chip, we often think about it having a really complicated circuits, like the Apple M2 where it has 20 billions of transistors and etc. Back in the days, chip weren’t that complicated so I could digest that they could design it. But nowadays since they’re more complicated, do they really design it when they’re very small like nanometer level?

Ps: I’m not a computer engineering student but feel free to use some technical terms if needed since I take related course to this.

Simply put no one designs things from scratch(probably different in the cutting edge tech) but everyone uses programs that helps via the use of macro blocks and logic testers (simulate the processor)
