      They did show that - but they didn't explain it. The lens flashing part is etching the locations of all the transistors on the silicon. The green bits deep inside the silicon wafer are where the silicon is doped by adding in some phosphorus or boron atoms to make it locally conductive in those places (by increasing/decreasing covalence electrons in the silicon wafer). But that on its own does not conduct electricity (that is the off-state of the transistor). Then they add those yellow bits (in the video) which are an insulated gate on the transistor - those gates can either be powered on or off, which causes an electric field, and that electric field allows electricity to flow between the two green parts (source and drain of the transistor). That's all they are: they create tiny MOSFETS (field effect transistors) with a source, drain, and gate terminals that can either allow electrons to flow through those locally doped areas of the silicon, or not (the 2 binary states).

    ok so you get sand from the sahara desert... you heat and melt it into a glob from which the silver surfer emerged... Then you cut it into discs you call wafers (which do not look anything like the vanilla wafer cookies I eat mind you)... then you shine light from the eye of aurora from mythical legend (as is foretold) , which is then deflected through a prism from the sands of time to allow a colony of piping systems to form on the round disc you call a flat wafer. In time this creates a society or colony, in which you segregate and cut into sectors based on social class and dispose of the lower classes... and sell the higher and middle social classes as memory storing communities which you in turn profit from...
    I see... Thank you Intel. All is clear now... Intel chips are made using Ancient Alien Technology...

    I'm taking a basic semiconductors course in college right now, and from what I know, they first heat silicon so that it naturally creates a lattice crystal structure, then they cut it into slices along a certain orientation of the crystal for specific electrical properties, then they cut wells into the silicon chip to essentially map out space for each transistor. Then they create each transistor by doping different areas of the transistor. Then they layout the chip + connect layers..very vague

    I got it! make a ball of red (LIQUID)sand,drop a pint of it,take out,make a weird cylinder,cut it in three parts,take two(they're useless)make it spin until its blue,make some textures on the disc taking photos somehow,zooming,making every square a yellow highway that makes the disc orange,throw some sawblades into it and make perfectly squares and put it in a chip,that gets plastic over it.
    #TotallyNotComplex but where do i get the texture-maker-camera,the sand-cyllinder converter,the yellow-orange tiny roads,the mecha-floating-arm and the red ball of liquid sand?
    ALSO I NEED THE FLYING SAWBLADE AT THE START ;+;

    @351GTCOUPE obviously you don't know what are you talking about. First semiconductor device invented was the "diode" in 1870 far earlier than Roswell (1947), semiconductors existed since then. If you are talking about the transistor, people were trying to produce a working transistor as early as 1920 but it was John Bardeen who finally succeded in 1947 , he worked at AT&T Bell Labs, and he was smart enough to win 2 nobel prices, Bell Labs registered the patent.

    too bad they glossed over the nano-fabrication aspects so quickly. it would be neat to see the lithography steps and growth/etch/implant/etc processing steps performed (at least a few sequential steps). the way they animate it is a bit deceiving and not very informative. obviously this is meant as an overview, but a little more detail would go a long way imo.
