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.

Exceedingly well done. The style of the film truly does portray the culture of the semiconductor industry: it’s quick, driven, modern, high tech, visually exciting, well paced – a very nice artistic change from most teaching films. Because the process shots are interspersed with device animations, students are able to quickly relate processes to device physics. This immediate tie between the macroscopic and microscopic worlds is impossible to obtain in a traditional lab/classroom setting. Even the most personal tour of an IC facility would not allow students such an intimate view of each process.Carol McConica

Excellent film! We use it in our undergraduate semiconductor device course, and also show it to lab visitors who do not have semiconductor backgrounds.Ben Streetman
