无论是袖珍计算器还是最新一代尖端处理器的微小电路,芯片的制作程序都是一样的。所变化的只是在称为“模片”(Die)的小小硅片上刻印的电路的复杂性不同。“模片”是如此之小,以至于很容易地就可以将其托在指尖上。然而,在这个不起眼的硅片上却存放了数百万之多的晶体管,厚度只有 Whether it's a pocket calculator or the tiny circuit of the latest generation of cutting-edge processors, the chip making process is the same. The only thing that changes is the complexity of the circuit engraved on a small piece of silicon called a Die. “Die ” is so small that it can be easily placed on your fingertips. However, there are millions of transistors on this obscure piece of silicon with a thickness of only
