That would have been better if they had explained exactly what was going on. On a side note, it's ridiculous that these can go through 800 manufacturing processes in the US, be shipped to Asia, go through all those processes and then be shipping back to the West and cost so little yet they can still make a profit. Mindblowing.

#3 - The process takes approx. 1 month. If you make 10.000 chips at the same time. You can make 10.000 chips in 1 month. Although i'm sure they produce much more than that

Anyone else wonder why they make square chips out of a round wafer?
Wouldn't it make more sense to use a square wafer?
I'm sure there's some technical reason my simple mind cannot comprehend.

#1 Finger cots , I wear them all day at work and the pink ones are anti static.
And if you think a month is bad , Our diodes and rectifier's can take 6 months to produce , The highest level ones are for JANS level which is Joint army and navy + Space are so high spec on a bad batch of wafers you can start with 10,000 and end up with a few hundred left , They might start off with thousands but not every die will pass the mark ,
Same with dual core and quad core processors , some times a dual core or tripple core is just a quad core with one or two disabled as to cut costs if one core is defective they disable it and sell it as something else!

Consider that it takes a month to produce but they are constantly switching "stages" of production so one stage might take an hour and you could produce a lot more in a month than 10000 but 30 x 10000 (or even more depends on the slowest stage of production).

Haha... "This room is 100 times cleaner than a hospital room". Kinda puts it in perspective for you all i hope. Your life is worth 100 times less than computer parts. To be fair tho, your life isn't really worth anything. A computer part is however.

#11 I think the technical answer to your question has to do with "depth of field":

Or specifically:

#11 See this link http://www.cpushack.com/MakingWafers.html The wafer is just a slice of a cylinder.
#15 It is 100 times cleaner because any small amount of dust will damage the chip. The same is not true for us.
