Our Films

Silicon Run’s nine award winning educational films explore the fascinating process of semiconductor manufacturing from A to Z. Shot on site and illustrated with rich animations, Silicon Run’s films provide in-depth studies of such topics as: MEMS (microelectromechanical systems), Nanotechnology, Lithography, Implantation, Deposition, Etch, front end and back end semiconductor manufacturing (Silicon Run I and II) and Silicon Run LITE (an overview film useful as an intro).

NanotechnologyThe World Beyond Micro

The world of nano dimensions and a growing number of engineered nanomaterials.

MEMSMaking Micro Machines

The fabrication, testing, packaging and design of microelectromechanical systems.

Silicon Run ISemiconductor Mfg, Part 1

Front-end manufacturing from crystal growth through integrated circuit fabrication.

Silicon Run IISemiconductor Mfg, Part 2

Fabricated wafer through testing, packaging, and computer manufacturing.

Silicon Run LiteIntroductory Video

Combines key sequences and images from SILICON RUN I and SILICON RUN II.

DepositionThin film deposition

Detailed close-up look at the process of thin film deposition in CMOS fabrication.

LithographyPhotolithography

The role of photolithography in the imaging and printing of integrated circuits.

EtchThe Etch Process

Close look at the etch process, dielectric, silicon, and metal, and chemical mechanical polish.

ImplantationThe Ion Implantation Process

How ions accelerated to high energies into silicon substrate produce precise electrical properties.

I’ve been very pleased with the series. The films bring it all together for the students – they’re locked in.Rex Fisher

One of the best technical films I have ever seen. Both films are very useful to us.Jim Bearman

Very useful tool for providing a background that we can’t normally give our students.H.H. Jorch
