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]
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.

Analog Circuits: Equivalent circuits (large and small-signal) of diodes, BJTs, JFETs, and MOSFETs, Simple diode circuits, clipping, clamping, rectifier. Biasing and bias stability of ...
CMOS inverter (a NOT logic gate). Complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS, pronounced "sea-moss ", / s iː m ɑː s /, /-ɒ s /) is a type of metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) fabrication process that uses complementary and symmetrical pairs of p-type and n-type MOSFETs for logic functions.

A recipe in semiconductor manufacturing is a list of conditions under which a wafer will be processed by a particular machine in a processing step during manufacturing. [158] Process variability is a challenge in semiconductor processing, in which wafers are not processed evenly or the quality or effectiveness of processes carried out on a ...
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 ...
NEC and Toshiba used this process for their 4 Mb DRAM memory chips in 1986. [47] Hitachi, IBM, Matsushita and Mitsubishi Electric used this process for their 4 Mb DRAM memory chips in 1987. [37] Toshiba's 4 Mb EPROM memory chip in 1987. [47] Hitachi, Mitsubishi and Toshiba used this process for their 1 Mb SRAM memory chips in 1987. [47]
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.
