BasicProcesses:
(1)WaferGrowth:
Creationofsingle-crystalsubstratematerial;
(2)Photolithography:
Definitionofregions(throughamask)onwaferforselectiveprocessing;
(3)Doping:
Additionofdesiredimpuritiesnearthesurfaceofthewafer
(4)Oxidation:
Thermalgrowthofnaturaldielectriclayer(e.g.SiO2)
(5)Deposition:
Additionoflayersofaspecificmaterial(e.g.Si3N4)onthewafersurface
(6)Etching:
Removalofmaterialfromthewafersurface
(7)EpitaxialGrowth:
