  1. 1Design & EDACircuits are designed and verified with electronic design automation before anything is built.
  2. 2Masks & lithographyPatterns are projected onto a photoresist-coated wafer to define each layer.
  3. 3Wafer fabricationLayers are built up by deposition, etching, and doping — repeated hundreds of times.
  4. 4PackagingFinished dies are cut, bonded, and encapsulated into usable chips.
  5. 5TestChips are electrically tested and sorted before they ship.
