Modern Microchip Manufacturing (IBM fab makes the Wii chip)

joedirtsays...

Most of it is just robots driving those red and green containers around. So you start with a wafer (the round shiny thing), which eventually gets cut up into squares of silicon, and then packaged into processor. (There is a part showing the guy with a suction tool picking up a finished packaged processor).

So like 20 of these wafers are put into those red and green plastic containers. Those are driven around by robotic carriers that shuttle the containers all over the place (most of the video shows the automated container movers). Each of what looks like a super compter with buttons, lights and a container of wafers sitting in front of it are the 'machines' that make one particular step in the making of microchips. Like one of those bays might make microscopic metal wires.

Gah.. I should explain it step by step. Maybe if this hits the front page.
