Microchip Production and Functionality

The video tutorial explains the process of transforming sand into silicon, which is then cut into wafers. These wafers undergo numerous processing steps to become microchips, involving coating, exposure, and etching. The complexity of microchip assembly is highlighted, with up to 30 layers interconnected to form a highly complex structure. The entire process can involve up to 700 steps and take 14 weeks to complete.
