I only buy free-range artisanal DRAM at the DRAM farmer's market.

I saw this video yesterday and considered posting it, but I wasn’t sure if it was appropriate for HN.

This channel has another video where it shows how the clean room lab is created starting from a basic backyard shed, and that was truly astounding. The positive pressure to keep the number of particles low in someone’s backyard is almost mystical to me.

Backyard semiconductor production is pretty similar to backyard barbecue. Lots of heating, smoking (diffusion), injecting (ion implant), and layering..

I wasn't expecting what the inside of the shed would be like!

This is incredible! 1100 degrees in your backyard shed! And the video explains it well too

This guy is proof that newcomers to YouTube can still succeed, if they find the right niche.
