About Semitree
Semitree is a free platform for understanding semiconductors — a place to learn the technology from the ground up, and to stay current with insights, news, articles and analysis about the industry.
Semiconductors sit underneath almost everything modern — phones, cars, data centres, medical devices — yet the field can feel closed off behind jargon. Semitree exists to open it up: to take someone from “I know nothing about this” to genuinely understanding how a chip is designed, made, packaged, and used.
We pair that education with an ongoing stream of insights — news, explainers, articles, research and industry analysis — so the fundamentals and the fast-moving industry live in the same place. Semitree also covers a dedicated microfluidics domain for lab-on-chip science.
What you’ll find here
Learn
Structured paths from first principles — what a semiconductor is — up to devices, logic, and advanced topics.
Design
Follow how an idea becomes a chip: specification, architecture, RTL, verification, physical design, tape-out and beyond.
Manufacturing & supply chain
How chips are actually built — lithography, etching, deposition and more — and how the global ecosystem fits together.
Tools
Interactive calculators and design utilities that turn the concepts into numbers you can use.
Insights
News, explainers, articles, research and industry analysis — everything Semitree publishes, in one place.
Industry
A company directory and semiconductor maps to explore who does what, and where, across the industry.
How we approach content
Layered, beginner-first
Every topic starts with plain-language intuition and builds toward the technical detail — so you’re never asked to understand advanced terms before you have the context.
Accurate & sourced
We favour authoritative, verifiable sources, explain the equations we use, and don’t fabricate figures. Where values vary by process or condition, we say so.
One connected system
Concepts, tools, manufacturing and industry link to each other, so you can move naturally from an idea to how it becomes a real chip.
Who it’s for
Semitree is written to serve a wide range of readers — whether you’re starting from zero or already work in the field.
