| − | I thought it would be fun to put some notes about silicon here.
| |
| | | | |
| − | Silicon can be bought in 4" wafers (small). Say 25 for $450. You want to start with doped silicon (as you won't be melting it down, and adding chemicals to the silicon) reference: https://www.electronicproducts.com/Analog_Mixed_Signal_ICs/Transistors_Diodes/DIY_transistor_fabrication_Are_you_up_to_the_challenge.aspx.

| − | You need some basic equipment, but anyone with access to a lab or hackerspace might have enough.
| |
| − | From previous reference:

| |
| − | Nitrogen tank
| |
| − | Kiln
| |
| − | Hydrofluoric acid (HF)
| |
| − | Phosphosilicate film
| |
| − | Prime-grade silicon wafer
| |
| − | Vinyl sticker in place of photoresist for masks
| |
| − | Color chart for identifying thickness of oxide layer
| |
| − |
| |
| − | I have nitrogen, an oven only up to 450F (not high enough...), can obtain HF and wafers... However, silicon is not cheap. This hobby looks to be on the expensive side.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Is there a limit to what size a die can be? How about transistors that are 4" across...

| − | ==Book List==
| |
| − | These books used to be on Sam Zeloof's website, but he took them down. I'll copy them here for reference. There must be something useful here.
