Being in this industry for 10 YEARS, I really appreciate your effort to bring this to the audience as you are an expert in this field. Most of the time content creators do not know when they talk about chip manufacturing because they lack the knowledge.
I did my engineering internship at AMC in California in the 90's. Going into the cleanroom for the first time felt like going into a space station, it was a cool experience!
I'm just here to learn about wafers and what they are as I'm about to embark on a journey to work as a process tech making microchips. Thank you for this as it was very informative.
This was a rare treat, and shared so many interesting details first-hand that I didn't think we'd ever get to see. Well done Matt on a fantastic video, and thanks! It's pretty exciting too that there are more ways emerging for 'regular people' to design real chips and get them manufactured. - Anton
Thank you so much for building this awesome video. It is really fun to see these tools in first person like this. Your animations are crystal clear and help show the process. You rock!!
I really enjoyed watching this Matt! Thank you so much! I would like to translate it to my native language. I will contact you about it on discord if you allow me to! Have a great day!
nice showcase ... if only they could deliver designed chips every time on time as stated for each MPW run (according to each year time schedule) ... that would be perfect ... ah ... I almost forgot it , also updating the PDK documentation for their SG* nodes would be a smart move ...
@ZeroToASICcourse interesting! I work in an R&D facility in semiconductors and photonics. We have research focused on integrated photonics and silicon photonics. That's why I was keen to know if they provide MPW?
I'm so happy that my internship was in IHP, thank you :)

Thanks! I'm no expert though, I had a lot of help from the real experts who work at IHP!
Our lecturer recommended this video for a class. Thanks for the explanation.
Glad it was helpful!
Big big thanks to IHP for joining the movement!! An open PDF for RF design is a first of its kind as far as I know!
Favorite video of 2023, thank you Matt and thank you IHP for providing the tour!
I look forward to giving IHP a trial run in the near future!
Thanks a lot Matt! This was super insightful! Never seen the process described with so much detail but at the same time easy to follow.
I love these "how it's made" type of videos!
Fascinating to see inside a foundry and all of the cool machines they have in there! Thanks
Thanks Stu!

Fascinating, thank you so much! I never thought it would take months for a waver to complete.
Lovely stuff! In the place to be for someone to get started with something new. Again we’re so lucky to find out what goes on inside a chip fab, Nice!
Hi,
The first video i see in youtube which describe every process in detail and in 3D.
Thanks for this informative video❤.
Thanks!
This is such a great video, a must watch if you're interested in silicon design and manufacturing!
Thanks Omer!

Very excited to see more open PDKs, particularly a Bi-CMOS one. Great look inside a fab.

Thanks Anton!
The chapter marks are really helpful. Thx
Amazeballs! I'm signing up for the course ASAP!
Super cool! Rare to see such a deep dive in a fab, most are a lot more secretive it seems. Love seeing all the automation between the tools
thanks!

Thank you very much!
Very clear explanations and great details. I'll definitely line up in the queue to tape out at IHP.
Sooooooo well explained❤
Thanks a lot 😊
Utterly fascinating. Love this Matt guy, he cracks me up!
It's really amazing what you do here. Always amazed to follow the progress.
Thank you very much!
Incredibly cool Bud
Such awesome ground breaking stuff man!!!
Thanks!!
Great behind the scenes insights
SO GOOD!! Thanks to all involved in making this tour possible!
Really nice video, thanks to everyone involved!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome content. Keep going pls.
So interesting explanations! Great film! Thanks for sharing.
thanks Marie-Minerve!
I had to look up your "Karl Lagerfeld" reference. :P
Would be pretty cool to have a Karl Lagerfeld uniform though right?
Great Video!!
This is great! Amazing insight!
This video is AMAZING!
thanks!
Awesome !! Great video !
This is amazinggggg!!!!!!!!!
What a fab-ulous video!
Thanks Ken!
Thanks so very much!
You're welcome!
Awesome! 👍🏻
Thanks! 👍
I really enjoyed watching this Matt! Thank you so much! I would like to translate it to my native language. I will contact you about it on discord if you allow me to! Have a great day!
Sounds great!
Really good, I will share the link around where I can
thanks Hannah!
Great!
Designer feel the live experience of how IC got manufactured with FAB video.
Is that the old AMD fab?
I don't think so - it's IHP research fab: www.ihp-microelectronics.com/
nice showcase ... if only they could deliver designed chips every time on time as stated for each MPW run (according to each year time schedule) ... that would be perfect ... ah ... I almost forgot it , also updating the PDK documentation for their SG* nodes would be a smart move ...
You might be thinking of Sky130? So far all the Google sponsored MPW runs have been done with them.

Germany dont have the GAS / energy to be competitive i wonder y

You serve as a great connection to the semiconductors industry. Does IHP offer MPW?
Thanks! I'm not sure if they do at the moment, but they plan to offer one in April 2024 for their open source PDK.
