The world as we know it today runs on silicon-based chips. Your phone, computer, amplifier for planar magnetic headphones, Xbox... Even cars, machines that control other complicated machines in factories, planes and more. All run on chips.
But who makes these?
Yes, you might have heard of names like Intel and Qualcomm who do make chips... Or do they?
Join the Simblified gang as they talk about semiconductors and the process by which they're made. Importantly, they speak about TSMC and ASML, two companies without whom we'd still probably all be using a landline. Creditably, they make the "conductor collects tickets" joke only once in the show. Also, this show features a unique plug from Chuck's other show, The Origin of Things, as he did an episode on TSMC there.
All in all, a fun episode that'll bring back nightmares from some engineering classes, while also teaching you something new about the fun world of semiconductors!
