All nine parts of the series are not linked together, so I thought of creating a list that may help those interested in learning about semiconductor manufacturing. All the images below are from respective part of the series linked in the title. Part 1: Creating the Wafer Part 2: The Oxidation Process Part 3: The Integrated Circuit Part 4: Drawing Structures in Nano-Scale Part 5: Etching A Circuit Pattern Part 6: The Addition of Electrical Properties Part 7: The Metal Interconnect Part 8: Electrical Die Sorting (EDS) Part 9: Packaging and Package Testing

Top Semiconductor Resources: The Linley Group: Linley Group is the best resource to get 360 degree view of semiconductor industry. They publish semiconductor focused reports that cover range of products and domains. The only (big) caveat is that the reports they publish are too costly. So, unless your institute or employer provides access to you it will be very difficult to access it. But there are few resources that are open to all and can really help you gain insight into different semiconductor domains. ChipDesign Mag: Articles from ChipDesign Mag (CDM) are very technical written by leading domain experts. It really helps in understanding all products that
