Very cool! You have built an incredible setup!

This setup is beyond words and the way you organized is outstanding, from safety to experiments.This video will always reminds me days of Shockley an early days of semiconductors

Proof that no matter what you do, some bastards will always give a thumbs down. This is simply incredible.

Somebody get this guy a Flux Capacitor and a DeLorean! In all seriousness, genuinely outstanding work. Just read a Wired story about you and I’m a fan. You will go far, please teach others, and help the world with what you learn. I’ll watch for you.

Wow! I both admire and envy this. Thank your parents as many times as possible please. If I got any of this stuff they would complain that I'm wasting money and would hurt myself or burn the house down. Got very little encouragement back then. Still kinda do..... Even though I work for what I have and finished college. Keep up the great work. You're going places. :-)

That vacuum chamber brings back so many memories of my internship at a research facility. We had most of that same equipment. Never thought I'd see it again in someone's garage.

You are better than all my professors . I am sorry that I lost 5 years studying at university

Very nice set-up. I've never seen something like this is someone's workshop. Thanks for showing. This is something every EE should have :D

Would your parents (Benefactors) be interested into adopting yet another son?

"It would be cool if other people wanted to get into owning a semi conductor lab."

This is awesome! I've worked in a PCB shop that got it's start in a garage, years later they're still standing.

:D you are living my dream, just discover your channel now. Wish all the best and lots of fun !

ECG book had tens of thousands of different ics in them with diagrams of internal layouts.Use to get them from Randolph and Rice in Louisville and later in Nashville from Randolph and Randolph. Politicians decided to give our technology to Japan to help their economy and thus started the throw away economy. TVs were average 800.in late 1970's and early 80s bought many a 1000 PIV diode for repair of lightening surge voltage at 8 cents each. Use to be many tv repairmen and TVs got fixed, not thrown away! The good old days when there was only 1 kind of electronic solder and you didn't need an oven to control cool down times for ics with different mix solders for right temp mix so you didn't destroy ic or get a cold joint in a short period of time.

Wow, your lab/shop is really impressive. Way to go! I like some of the improvised mounts and systems and I am personally working on a boom for a stereo microscope and found humorous the vise boom. Never thought of that way. I used to perform audits in Ag, Food and Drugs... so I have this impulse where my only observation is PPE and ventilation. Be safe and keep the work flowing. Way awesome!

I love your content it gives me motivation for my own projects, I think it's important to know how today's devices work and how to make them

Can't wait to see updates. Subscribed

Great job mate!! Looks very promising!!

Thanks for sharing your adventure.

Sam, many thanks for your videos. Can you please post a detailed fabrication and testing of nanowire by using your tube furnace.

You’ve just inspired me to do this Man

I am literally speechless to what i'm seeing in this video...absolutely amazing work

Fantastic and very motivating. I really loved this. Very creative.. Keep it up

Thank you，I don’t know what’s I looking for until finding this video

You have the greatest garage ever!!! 😄😄😄😄

This is all fantastic, but is this really at your _home_? I think you may have crossed the line into having your own Private Research Lab, rather than a "home lab." Regardless, megakudos! And I am _dying_ to see some characteristics of those fets :-)

Hey Sam, it's really great what you're doing here! Would it work to use a CNC or scanning UV laser to expose the photo resist instead of the DLP? People have done that for PCBs, and in fact I'm fixing up to do that myself for PCB solder mask exposure with a scanning focused 405nm UV laser diode and laser printer scanning optics.

Wow! Absolutely amazing

Subscribed. This is my dream come true! I must get started, now that I know it's possible…

Wow you are amazing bro . Respect 👍

Just read on IEEE Spectrum about you. You are incredibly innovative. I hope you go on inventing some cooler stuff to help the humanity.

This is awesome! For those who want to build such labs please be aware: You must collect and recycle the chemicals in a facility you can not use the drain to discard them! That is extremely important. Please, pay attention to environmental safety.

My university didn't have what you showed in your lab dude. How crazy are you?

You've got an amazing home lab. i'm very jealous

Super cool man! I am temporarily working in the clean room for a tool-install for a semiconductor fab. The machines they use are absolutely incredible and the knowledge of the folks that do this stuff is amazing. I love seeing the same machines and processes done in a DIY fashion. Keep it up! Whats your background with this? I assume you have worked in a fab or currently do?

Man, you're awesome!!! ❤️

Nice 👌one idealistic set up lab... For beginners

Very nice. Excellent home lab

That modified optics looks like it has a roll of tape on it... Is that what you did? Really awesome that you've tried to do this, never thought anyone would go this far.

Dude should open up his own Workshop or Class and make some money. I don't know where he's located, but I'd fly down there in a heartbeat!

How far way is your lab from creating an actual IC (like a small 4-bit accumulator CPU)?

eBay addiction :D Where did you get the chamber?

Beyond amazing.

WOW! its crazy how we take for granted, the tech we use to make IC's and microchips. Not only electrical theory, but chemistry goes into fabrication of microelectronics. Once the knowlege is forgotten, its surely gone.

wow, you've got like at least 15k+++ $ worth of equipment there at least. Really nice!

you're the man!

You're my HERO!

Hey Sam, great video! Have you ever tried making micro electromechanical systems (MEMS)?

Thanks for sharing very cool video.

Cool, a dream lab in home.

Come to india, we can start a semiconductor foundry here .....👍👍

hello, great video. I am trying to make a photomask by sputtering chrome on a piece of glass or acetate. Next, an conventional artwok acetate sheet featuring the larger layout will to be placed in front of a basic lens setup so UV light passing through it can reach the chromed piece covered by photoresist. will it work for a 25-50micron final imprinted feature ? appreciate any suggestion

Have you considered using a 4k monochrome sla printer as the projection source with a double fresnel lenses to bring it down to your lense?

U are the Grate Sam I want to learn some Electronic Skills from u but I m From Pakistan I love Electronics very much But we don't have that much innovation in technology

Where are you able to buy small quantities of photoresist?

it is so clean inthere

Very impressive.

You should have a reference on what fellows like you needs especially chemicals

Kinda late to this but when you mentioned HF, I'm so eager to do a NurdRage style warning/disclaimer. "Warning! This is some crazy ass lethal shit. If you touch hydrofluoric acid YOU WILL DIE! (painfully)"

Awesome overview, but how much was that vacuum chamber?

Dude.....😯,that`s awesome!

This is insane!

Its Awesome ✨✨✨✨✨

I dreamed of having stuff this as a kid

13:43 i noticed you havent been making any videos lately. is this related? im actually working on putting together a setup based on some of your designs, and i think this stuff is super cool! thanks so much for the videos and the hard work!!

As a chemist, I see all this beautiful equipment until the chemical cabinet with no analytical grade chems :(

I wonder if this setup would allow me to copy some of the chips off the SGI Tezro. After they went belly up and merged with Rackspace to form new SGI, they stopped making the Tezros, and some of the chips were unique to them so you can't assemble them from parts. Might be possible to copy hard-to-find C64 chips, too.

Wow, I wish I had the space and the time to make a hobby out of chip making. Please continue to share! I feel like you could inspire a lot of people, the whole thing seems to be ver intimidating, but not impossible. I am sure more videos would help educate others and help them feel confident enough to try this!

Wow thats great👍

I wonder what kind of resolution you could get now with an 8k or perhaps even a 16k+ projector if you are blowing money on this sick setup anyway.

No not many have, I have considered it, etching shouldn't be a problem, if anyone has an electron microscope, they can modify it to etch at scales of less than 5 nm, the problem is he heavy machinery needed for sputtering and deposition of conducting material. Also alignment, but you can buy nanometer precision alignment tables.

good work

Would home fabrication of discrete transistors and diodes be simpler?

Never forget about safety. Use Softgle Comfort

I really want to start a Semi Fab business, and the obvious first step for me, is to start at home- then expand from there. I'm a layman and a hobbyist and a big problem I- we, have in my country- and area of the world, is that electronic components are relatively expensive since they need to be imported and you don't always get what you want- you have to sometimes order and wait a few weeks. Our economic supply still rely mostly on Importing. My country is at the start of the Manufacturing phase in our development- having moved out of the almost complete reliance on Agriculture relatively recently, Electronics have become my passion and I see this as a great opportunity to supplement the various industries and also to develop a business. My question is- starting out- at the technical level, what education/knowledge do I need to start a semiconductor fabrication business? I'm thinking, I need a degree/diploma or equivalent in Chemistry, and Electrical Engineering? Is this correct, or are those a bit overkill? Time is always of the essence... What else- apart from the business aspect, is needed? Thank you for your time.

Which is the photoresist coating you use?

what do your parents do? how did you get your influence to do this ?

this is so cool

So cool man.... I just want to what are u going to do in this lab.... I mean how that is going to help u... Please tel me... Im also curious to know Are u only make for youtube....!????

You Rock

How much total floor space you needed in square feet to setup?

Where did you go to college?

9:03 what HF used as stain remover !!! I thought ,it is a Deadly acid

'tony stark built it in a cave with a box of scraps.'

Good!

Sam zoolof, can u put out a reading list ?

Wow!

Can you please recommend some books ?

This might sounds stupid.. but is it possible to make integrated circuit with this setup or building on this?

How much for all of this? Thanks.

Very powerful, Shall I and students come to learn how to fab chip? How much is it please? thanks

I'm here to learn how to build semiconductor so i can build a ps5.

In fact, I am working on a DC sputtering DIY (already working) and RF sputtering for isolating materials deposition and the sputtering guns. We can exchange some info. Are you a graduate student?

mind... blown

Wo much did this cost to make a diy IC?

hay are you in some open-hardware foundry foundation??

i admire you. Could you bom these instrument into excel file?

"It would be cool if other people wanted to get into owning a semi conductor lab" Imagine Intel calling you to order 3nm chips for it's new processor💀

I wonder how much would cost all this machinery and chemicals in my country shipped.

I want to visit your lab. It's possible?

Really great! But i don´t get it at long last.Is this a hobby or part of a professional,commercial(educational?) business? O.K. some people rebuild or restaurate old technics like oldtimer ,planes or so .So why not 70/80ies-electronics one could say. Btw.: A (electronic?)-microscope would be interesting to show the result. Some years ago i decappted someold chips up to mid-90ies mechanically when you still could see the structures. Looks very interesting under a 1000X-microscope
