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 from lithography through etch, process control and yield. Membership: the process, not the device. Mostly video explainers: reliable for mechanism and order, not to be cited for numbers.
