Brightbox - Chip Technology: How mini is nano ?
Every chip in your smartphone or computer is packed with smart technology. But how can such a tiny piece of electronics do so much? In this Brightbox, you will discover how small we have to go to build such a chip—from millimeter to micrometer and ultimately even nanometer. That way, you'll learn what 'nano' really means: smaller than you can imagine!
With a magnifying glass, a handheld microscope, and even a microscope you fold yourself, step-by-step you will look deeper into the mini-world of smart chips. Discover what is hidden in the very smallest of details!
What do you learn with this Brightbox?
- The steps to super small: How you jump from a millimeter (as thick as a pin) to a micrometer and ultimately to a nanometer. A nanometer is one billionth of a meter!
- The brains of devices: Why a computer chip is actually the 'brains' of your smartphone or gaming console
- The secret code: How chips talk and store information using a super-smart language of ones and zeros (0 and 1).
- Investigating like a scientist: How to fold a microscope yourself (the Foldscope) and how to make a 'slide' (a very thin test sample) to view cells or chips.
- Making chips from sand: How you turn simple sand — melted at 2000 °C — into a shiny piece of silicon that chips are printed on.
- Why dust is the enemy: Why a single tiny speck of dust can ruin an entire chip, and why people in a factory (the cleanroom) wear special suits.
