Nice sputtering system btw. It is great to see great guys like you passionate by the semiconductor field. You earned my fullest respect and thank you for your work and KZfaq videos.

The process is much more interesting than the testing. You need to make more videos. I have been following you for years and wish you had posted more as you built your lab instead of just some updates.

Intel, tsmc and AMD need talented people just like you! Keep it up :)

I like the way you can get a 15nm +- 2.5nm oxide coating by 'banging it in the oven for 4 min 30 sec'.

Man, your work is really, really impressive! Please post more!!

Don't forget about the ~2 nm of native oxide on the wafer before the thermal oxide growth. So 17.5 nm seems about right!! That is pretty cool, congrats. If you need in the future, you can etch away the native oxide with HF (or BOE - buffered oxide etch) before your thermal oxide growth. But HF is quite dangerous and likely not worth trying to set up a wet chemical bench in your lab.

Why is your sputtering setup so damn sexy

This channel gives me hope. Really incredible content!

I absolutely love your Videos. Keep up the *Awesome* work. Your channel inspired me to try to build my own Transistor. I am currently working on my Vacuum setup, can't get the pressure low enough for good quality coatings but with my new pump this problem will be history. Thank you so much for the great work you do here on your channel :)

You are better equipped than my whole country!

People cut power cords to indicate that a machine is broken, so that others don't try and use it. I've seen researchers take coaxial cable out of a trash can and try to use it. Much better to cut of the end and save everybody the trouble. Cool video, by the way. And I love your lab!

As i write a driver for a hp4284 LCR Meter this video comes in. Sam you are my hero! Sam you should do some GOI tests on your mos-cap. TDDB, HCI or VRAMP would be cool to see on your process.

what a great home lab , very impressive

About the thickness of the SiO2: I would expect it to be difficult at such a small value to really measure this thickness accurately. Would the layer not just contain a large gradient in oxygen concentration due to the diffusion of oxygen into the silicon? Or, in other words, is it not just a gradual transition going from SiO2 at the surface, to SiO, to Pure Si in the bulk?

Impressive and very COOL!

Congrats to your recent bay sale, this was really a head shaker. I hope that will help you to further finance your chippies.

Thanks for posting Sam.

Still loving your channel keep doing what you are doing

Props to whoever donated the probe station. Nothing is better than science in the home.

Fantastic video! Thanks for the explanation(s).

Niiiice, Sam posted.

This is some amazing stuff man, how long have you been doing this? Great work, keep it up!

Definitely deserve a subscriber 👏🏻👏🏻

congratulations man, good job.

Fixing that CV plotter would be an incredible video

When you give money to great minds you will get Genius like him.

It’s the video we’ve all been waiting for

Amazing. Thank you!

i got pretty much helps. thank you!

I would love to have one of your chips. This is what art was meant to be.

very cool sam

I have a similar HP4145A and would be interested in performing some CV measurements as well, there are even other 410s on eBay. Could you shine a bit of light into how you connected the 4145 to the 410 and what custom function you used to plot it? Thanks!

Your lab is a dream!

Thank you. Subscribed

You are a genius bro

I like this channel. From indonesian 🇮🇩

This is alla absolutely incredible. I don't know how much you habe studied and thinkered with this stuff to have the skill and confidence of setting up such an amazing lab, but it sure must have been a lot of fun

Excellent job as always. I am sure you know Plummer's book. Would you reccomend it? Do you haveanother good book to reccomend?

Do you think it would be practical to integrate a probe station in an existing wire bonding machine?

i want a lab like that its so nice

Can you make oscilloscope DIY with least error?

Do you think it'd be possible to create an in-house 8-inch fab? Would help so many ppl during these times...

Hi, very nice. Unfortunately, the link in description does not work...

Hey Sam, really like your video. Sadly your links dont work for me. Do you think you could upload them again? This would be so nice!!! Thanks and keep up with the great work

Power cords are cut so they don't tangle up in trash. This is mandatory in some european countrys when You are going to trash something. They leave (any) device side by trash, but the cord is cut.

Hmmmm what if reactivate polish semiconductor fabric Unitra CEMI

You are awesome. I really hope at least one of the bilionaires coming out of the new criptocurrencies funds you, no strings attached. You deserve it.

Can you make an LED?

i understand it's probably really dumb to ask, but why would capacitance even depend on the bias voltage at all? upd: ah, later you explained the inversion process

Cut power cords? Just last week on a discarded piece of lab equipment, had the same thing. Older cords, plugs and equipment that can't pass the "tag testing" get chopped, I suspect. I want to find more equipment!! Help. I just acquired a stereo bench microscope. Whoopee!

kewl

Not sure if you just didn't show it but, you might be starving your oxide growth if you aren't forcing steam through your furnace at the same time.

One thing I could never really find, and would be interesting to see from you: given a fixed temperature, how the leakage current varies of a MOS (with Vgs=0) I've found some data under the title "sub threshold conductivity" but I was never sure if my calculations based on that were correct or no. The manufacturers give huge ranges of leakage current for MOSFETs, and I could not get more information about it.

Was that like a quartz microbalance?

Do you have a company to do all this stuff? These equipment are quite expensive.

Can you show how to meassure IV graph using the same equipment please?

People cut the power cord on old electronics to keep people who don't know better from just plugging it in. Doing so with out inspecting or replacing old components can often fry the whole system. So one failed capacitor that wasn't inspected could end up turning the whole thing into a paper weight.

They cut the power cords so ppl won't use dangerous/faulty electronics, sometimes it is the ppl who clear our labs, who are in a rush and don't know or care what they are cutting because they sell it bulk themselves. Where I live, the councils pay people to drive around and cut the cords on electronics that are being thrown out (the day before and the day of, it is scheduled) and then later they pay someone to come and pick it all up... They did it to an amp from the '70s I picked up (and others), just wanted the transformer/pots/knobs etc anyway but it made me sad - such a pointless waste!

Do you own a company to produce these semiconductors?

You need a HP 9000 150 touch screen computer.. Get your Gear all Linked up, and Logged all the data..

Pls make own chip pls

Are you okay samey

can one use plasma cleaning to "wipe" a used silicon wafer to remove all built up layers?

They cut the power cord so that they can write off the equipment value on taxes when disposing of it.

Thank you your video. I have some question, if you have some time help me plz:) First, I wanna use bottom contact then can i use dry etcher for bottom to etch SiO2? Then, i will make bottom contact with Al with sputter. And I learned that there is ideal threshold voltage in situation that Parameter(Body doping, oxide thickness, Gate metal) is fixed. I want to ask if you found ideally threshold voltage In this experiment or not? Thank you. For your help and good video. Have a nice weekend.

13:30 Your dopant concentration seems imperial :D

"Don't know why anyone would cut a power cord?" Two reasons; $0.01 or they need power to something else

Sorry to comment again… But I know a lot of folks cut power cords basically to let the buyer know that it’s not ready to go and that they can’t just plug it in. That keeps buyers away who would assume it works and plug it in… Even if the seller stated otherwise. It’s a good way to guarantee the person buying it knows it needs repair.

Great job. Now You shoud produce small IC to public. It is yet possible to built better processor than Intel & AMD. In 10 Years You shod try to win with them.
