How Many Steps Are Needed to Make a Chip?

The chip is a pinnacle of human technology, embodying vast amounts of wisdom. The chip supply chain is extremely complex; spending a hundred million may buy a luxury apartment, but it may not necessarily support a chip from design to mass production. This is especially true for chips that use advanced processes, where the costs … Read more
