I made my own RAM! - Micron Factory Tour

День томуThanks to Micron for sponsoring this video! Learn more about how Crucial by Micron can make upgrading your setup easy by checking them out at: crucial.gg/LTT
Linus doesn't travel for projects often anymore, but when Micron invited him out to their 200,000 sq. ft. facilities in Boise, Idaho to make his own RAM from scratch, he knew that he had to go. Making RAM isn't easy, so sit back and take a look at how RAM goes from raw components to powering the device you're watching this on!

Remember to run in a straight line and run as long as possible. The second time you fail to complete a lap before the sound, your test is over. The test will begin on the word, Start. On your mark, get ready... Start.

@D1EHARDTOO Рік тому
Absolutely amazing video! I love the behind the scenes at major chip-makers, A: because we never really get to see what goes into the gadgets we use everyday, and B: because I work at one of them! The chips I test daily are in sockets quite a bit smaller than the one they had for probing the memory chips, but we have a few of those yellow ones with the big screw wheel even. Another cool thing is I have a family member who works at a different company than I, which is the one who makes those really expensive oscilloscopes that are needed to validate anything and everything we (and Micron) work on. Really cool to see, especially since Micron is more similar to what I do daily than seeing Intel's behind the scenes (still was really cool)

Getting to work with such cutting edge tools and finding efficient and elegant solutions to problems, just tickles that itch for me and I would have loved to be able to contribute to such important efforts.

@ffsireallydontcare Рік тому
@@joshuacheung6518 I'm not so sure about that, especially in that part of the factory. If it were a PPE area he wouldn't be allowed to be anywhere near the gear without PPE for fear of equipment contamination, that and the wafer was going to go into a grinder with dust and wash fluid. Maybe the "exit" side of the grinding/cutting machines are in a clean room environment we didn't see.
@joshuacheung6518 Рік тому
@justathought maybe after it's been stuck on the sticker, but before that i doubt it as the part that matters if you sneeze on it (literally) is exposed
@ffsireallydontcare Рік тому
@@joshuacheung6518 but think about it, the whole wafer is going to be doused in wash fluid to wash away the dust created by the cutting and grinding actions. They aren't gentle processes as the silicon is really hard and the chips are abrasive. So even if they were contaminated prior to the cutting or grinding processes, they'll be well and truly clean afterwards. I agree that in the earlier stages contamination is an issue, and in a production plant the cutting and grinding steps are probably in a clean room environment as well as every step would be streamlined, but in a R&D lab?
