The making of a Silicon chip by Intel, what Paul and Yousef had forgotten... intel.com I like this section...perhaps "Penang" Paul and "Rio Rancho" Stockman will be proud... "At an Intel plant in Penang, Malaysia, after a battery of sophisticated tests, a technician visually inspects a tray of finished processors before they are sent to a warehouse and used to fulfill customer orders. The culture behind the scenes of chip fabrication is perhaps the most fascinating element of the process. The world's largest "fab," or chip fabrication factory, is in Rio Rancho, New Mexico, where production never stops, and the clean rooms alone cover the area of three football fields. An otherworldly atmosphere plays host to the technicians, who spend their 12-hour shifts encased in GORE-TEX® "bunny suits." Workers wear this required garb over their clothes to keep minute particles such as dead skin cells from contaminating the microscopic circuits."
