Hi. I'm the creator of this video. Let me know if you have any questions.
Can you do videolithography next? Soft circuits of some kind. Then we can use machine learning to generate purposeful circuits—with CNNs, GANs, etc.

#32Cringing it everytime he calls it an antique camera. This is like a millennial talking about an antique technology called 'VHS' tape.
> An antique is usually an item that is collected or desirable because of its age, beauty, rarity, condition, utility, personal emotional connection, and/or other unique features. It is an object that represents a previous era or time period in human history.
Seems fitting to me.

You can pick up something like this for very little money: https://www.ebay.com/itm/324084661177
The price of the item above corresponds to its actual utility as a camera. No-one is collecting these.

If you ever find yourself bored, we could really use a reliable method of removing a camera senor bayer matrix. Bonus points if you can figure out how to deposit microlenses back onto the photosites after removal.

#35Hi. I'm the creator of this video. Let me know if you have any questions.
How far do you think you'd be from making a simple 8-bit CPU like a 6502?
Have you thought about illuminating the initial film exposure as well as the substrate exposure (on the slide glass) using monochromatic light sources like a mercury UV lamp?
Instead of a vacuum pump to flatten the film during exposure, how about electrostatic charges?

#36Hi. I'm the creator of this video. Let me know if you have any questions.
Awesome video and process, we've been talking about this at work since it showed up here and have a few questions if you don't mind: How far do you think you'd be from making a simple 8-bit CPU like a 6502?

#38This is so cool! Questions for engineers: How much work would it take to go from this process to producing a working chip in his garage, like a 6502 or something? Would it be at all feasible? He did point out a ton of defects in the final product, probably due to dust or scratches in his equipment/materials. Would it be possible to clean this up enough to get 1-2 usable chips from a single sheet of 4x5 film? Without…
I can't answer most of this since I don't know, but the first 6502 was fabricated at 8 microns. I wonder if a chip made at 15-20 microns would work just as well?
So would it work? Possibly. Work as well? Less likely.
All IMO, of course.

Here is a blog on home IC production: http://sam.zeloof.xyz/first-ic/ Having done some work in a university lab, I have no desire to be involved in silicon work in a home environment. It requires dangerous chemicals, and lots of equipment and dedication. A short list of what I remember: - Spin coater - Some solution of exposure of masks - Various chemical baths (HH, piranha, etc) in a dedicated area. - Inspection mic…
