chip making process

The chip generally refers to the carrier of the integrated circuit, and it is also the result of the design, manufacture, packaging, and testing of the integrated circuit. It is usually an independent whole that can be used immediately. If the central processing unit (CPU) is likened to the heart of the entire computer system, then the chipset on the motherboard is the torso of the entire body. For the motherboard, the chipset almost determines the function of the motherboard, which in turn affects the performance of the entire computer system. The chipset is the soul of the motherboard. The manufacturing process of the chip can be roughly divided into the wafer processing process (Wafer Fabrication), There are several steps such as Wafer Probe, Packaging, and Initial Test and Final Test. Among them, the wafer processing process and the wafer needle testing process are the front end processes, while the assembly process and the testing process are the back end processes.
