Silicon Run I.2 - An Educational Film about Integrated Circuits

集成电路及其驱动的计算机开创了电子学的新纪元。每年都生产出更快、更强大的计算机，这增加了对熟练劳动力和受过教育的公众的需求。提高对半导体和计算机工业制造过程的认识是一项教育挑战——由于学生、教育工作者和公众无法进入工业场所而丧失了视觉图像，这一挑战受到了阻碍。SILICON RUN两部分系列通过捕捉电影/视频上制造的丰富图像来解决这一教育挑战，以提供半导体和计算机制造的清晰概述。制作于1986年的《SILICON RUN I》探讨了晶体生长、掺杂效应、CMOS晶体管以及IC晶圆的设计和制造。最近完成的SILICON RUN II继续测试，封装，印刷电路板和系统组装，以及多芯片模块技术。该丛书被用于教育和培训；每年都有成千上万的大学、学院和技术学校的学生观看这些电影/视频。自从《SILICON RUN I》完成以来，技术上的许多变化使得有必要用《SILICON RUN I.2》的制作来更新第一部电影。该项目的目标是重新拍摄工业制造镜头，以便该系列可以继续为学生提供有关当今制造业的可行信息。接受者的调查结果压倒性地表明，该系列是本科教育的一项资产。

Integrated circuits, and the computers they drive, introduced a new era in electronics. Each year faster, more powerful computers are produced increasing the demand for a skilled work force and an educated public. Increasing an awareness about manufacturing processes in the semiconductor and computer industries is an educational challenge_one which is hindered by the loss of visual imagery due to the inaccessibility of industrial sites to students, educators and the public. The SILICON RUN two-part series addresses this educational challenge by capturing the rich images of manufacturing on film/video to provide a clear overview of semiconductor and computer manufacturing. SILICON RUN I, produced in 1986, explores crystal growth, the effects of doping, CMOS transistors, and the design and fabrication of IC wafers. The recently completed SILICON RUN II continues with testing, packaging, printed circuit board and system assembly, and multi-chip module technology. The series is being used for education and training; thousands of students in universities, colleges and technical schools are viewing these films/videos every year. The many changes in technology since the completion of SILICON RUN I make it necessary to update the first film with the production of SILICON RUN I.2. The goal of this project is to re-film the industrial manufacturing footage so the series can continue providing students with viable information about today's manufacturing. Responses from recipients' surveys overwhelmingly show that the series is an asset to undergraduate education.
