What is this? This description was written by a machine and published without a person checking it. It is what the agent made of this grouping, and not a statement anybody has stood behind.

How the chip is actually made

A subject the papers are about. The loosest grouping, and the one to reach for last.

Fabrication: what has to happen physically before there is a chip to design for, from lithography and deposition through etch, process control and yield. Membership turns on the process rather than on the device it produces. Most members are technical video explainers rather than peer-reviewed work and the corpus's record types do not distinguish the two: they are reliable for mechanism and process order, and should not be cited for numbers.
