Illustration of FEOL (device generation in the silicon, bottom) and BEOL (depositing metalization layers, middle part) to connect the devices. CMOS fabrication process. The front end of line (FEOL) is the first portion of IC fabrication where the individual components (transistors, capacitors, resistors, etc.) are patterned in a semiconductor substrate. [1]

Simplified process of fabrication of a CMOS inverter: Image title: Simplified process of fabrication of a CMOS inverter on p-type substrate in semiconductor microfabrication, drawn by CMG Lee. Note: Gate, source and drain contacts are not normally in the same plane in real devices, and the diagram is not to scale.
The shallow trench isolation fabrication process of modern integrated circuits in cross-sections. Shallow trench isolation (STI), also known as box isolation technique, is an integrated circuit feature which prevents electric current leakage between adjacent semiconductor device components.
A process design kit (PDK) is a set of files used within the semiconductor industry to model a fabrication process for the design tools used to design an integrated circuit. The PDK is created by the foundry defining a certain technology variation for their processes. It is then passed to their customers to use in the design process.
The 3 μm process (3 micrometer process) is the level of MOSFET semiconductor process technology that was reached around 1977, [1] [2] by companies such as Intel. The 3 μm process refers to the minimum size that could be reliably produced. The smallest transistors and other circuit elements on a chip made with this process were around 3 ...
Multi-project chip (MPC), and multi-project wafer (MPW) semiconductor manufacturing arrangements allow customers to share tooling (like mask) and microelectronics wafer fabrication cost between several designs or projects. MPC consisting of five CMOS IC designs and few test N- and PMOS transistors for manufacturing acceptance
Key to the advance was the discovery that heavily doped poly-silicon was conductive enough to replace aluminum. This meant the gate layer could be created at any stage in the multi-step fabrication process. [1]: p.1 (see Fig. 1.1) In the self-aligned process, the key gate-insulating layer is formed near the beginning of the process.
