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 highly recommend that Silicon Run II along with Silicon Run I be used in any introductory curriculum pertaining to the integrated circuit. The films also show the many technical positions open in the industry and emphasize the skills needed to qualify for them. They are great recruiting tools for our department! Bruce Bothwell

I’ve worked the majority of my career working at various semiconductor companies on design and test issues, but I’ve never had the opportunity to observe and understand the detail of fab processing until I watched Silicon Run I. If you haven’t seen it, you’re missing a lot!Guy Perry

We showed SILICON RUN I first as an introduction to the subject – it gives good overview and rapid visual association with the terminology to be used. A copy is available to students at any time during the course, and a second viewing is required before the end.Dennis G. Smith
