i picked this information up when i worked at a SGS/Thomson Fab that operates as a foundry and legally makes fake pentium chips for cyrix or some other company that sells fake pentium chips.

lets go into the fab (fab a place where chips are made in clean rooms)

here are the things we do before entering the clean room. one word the bunny suits DONT look like the BUNNY suits in the INTEL commericals which look like something someone from outer space would wear. the bunny suits look like medical wear and they cover your body from head to toe.

useless information about chips - 486, pentium, and 686 clones

useless info on pentium's

it takes about a month of time to produce a pentium chip from scratch. each wafer is processed 100's of times in the equipment used to put chemicals on the wafer, and the equipment to removed chemicals from the wafer.

thru the life cycle of say a pentium chip or any other chip the area that is required to make chip generally gets smaller and smaller over time. that is because to maximize profits the fab trys to produce as many chips on a wafer as it can. and reducing the size of the chip allows more chips to be produced on a wafer.

hydrofloric acid BAD stuff

hydrofloric acid is really nasty stuff

it looks like water.
it smells like water.
it doesnt burn very much.

but if you get it on your skin it will seep thru to your bones where it will attack the calcium in the bones and it will cause you much pain and damage.

for any chemical that spills on you wash it off with cold water for 15 minutes.

cover your skin and areas of your body that were exposed to the hydrofloric acid with calcium glucimate jell which will allow the hydrofloric acid to attack the calcium in the jell instead of the calcium in your bones.
