A semiconductor chip is an electric circuit with many components such as transistors[1] and wiring formed on a semiconductor[2] wafer[3]. An electronic device comprising numerous these components is called “integrated circuit (IC)[4]”. The layout of the components is patterned on a photomask[5] (reticle) by computer and projected onto a semiconductor[6] wafer[7] in the manufacturing processes described below.
1) Wafer processing
