Semiconductors power nearly every device we use today, but the manufacturing processes can seem complex and hard to visualize. In this hands-on workshop, participants will explore the fundamentals of semiconductor fabrication by creating a large-scale model of a basic transistor. As a hands-on activity, attendees will simulate key processes such as photolithography, implant, deposition, and more, gaining a practical understanding of how each step shapes the physical layout of a transistor. Along the way, we will explain the technical purpose behind each process, demystifying the steps that transform raw silicon into functioning electronics. By the end of the session, participants will have built a complete transistor model and walked away with both a visual and conceptual understanding of semiconductor manufacturing, providing a foundation for further learning or career exploration in this critical field.
Learning Objectives:
Understand the fundamental steps of semiconductor manufacturing and what they do to a wafer.
Construct a hands-on, large-scale model of a transistor to visualize fabrication processes.
Translate the abstract concepts of semiconductor manufacturing into an accessible, memorable experience.
