Semiconductor manufacturing is a branch of technology that involves the fabrication of electronic components and devices made from semiconducting material, typically silicon. This process involves several key steps including designing, patterning, doping, and assembling the materials to create integrated circuits, transistors, diodes, and other electronic components. Semiconductor manufacturing is a critical field in the production of electronic devices such as smartphones, computers, and other consumer electronics, as well as industrial and communication systems. The industry is highly complex and requires a high degree of precision, cleanliness, and expertise in order to produce advanced semiconductor devices with ever-increasing performance capabilities.
