Quite amazing stuff this youngster is doing. From literally scrap he has built a semiconductor fab. |
| SilverSolder:
That's one way to get around the chip shortage! :D |
| Refrigerator:
I've been subscribed to him for years now. Guy started fabricating semiconductors while still in highschool. |

Whenever I hear the bold (unprovable) claim “Worlds first”, my mind kinda shuts off. Since he’s no way of proving that his was the “worlds first”, it makes him appear a little big headed. Never say that. You have no way to prove it, and we have no way to counter it. Lose/lose for your image, in other words. Just make the devices and drop the “worlds first” - every man and his dog claims this, for everything from sliced cabbage to satellite phones. I’m sure you’re excellent at what you’ve made, but I’d drop that claim. |

We made diodes in one of my college classes. Photo etched each layer and had two furnaces to slide the wafer trays into (one for each doping type). Amazingly, I was able to find them after 45 years. :-+ Here showing different stages of the process. |
