Integrated Circuit Manufacturing At Bell Labs (1983)
🕑 Added 2022-08-20 15:04:40 +0000 UTCThis classic 16mm Bell Labs film from my archives goes all-in to show every step of the amazing manufacturing process for integrated circuits at the height of American microchip manufacturing in the 1980's. Can you imagine working every day in a clean room toiling over a vat of fuming nitric acid and swishing cocktails of extremely toxic solvents, day in and day out? So many of these places became Superfund sites. Well.... Enjoy!
