This deep-dive, full documentary of Intel's American Fabs, focusing on Fab 42, Fab 32, and Fab 52, digs deep into the construction and usages of "fabs." A "fab" is a fabrication facility focusing on silicon wafers, ultimately used in CPUs, GPUs, AI processors, and other technology. Intel's new fabs are being constructed all over the world, and we got to visit the new Fab 52 in Arizona, adjacent to Fab 42 that we toured in-depth. This video features the basics of how a CPU is made, the types of machines that are used to make CPUs, processes, and gives a physical sense of scale for a fabrication facility. We wanted to truly capture how large and complex these "mega factories" are.
The equipment shown in the video includes lithography, photoresist applicators, deposition and diffusion machines, and more. This video features expert interviews from both independent and first-party Intel engineers, technicians, and analysts. If you've ever wanted to see how a CPU is made physically (with supporting 3D animations for education), this will help you get started.
