Why are wafers round but chips square?
Ever wondered why silicon wafers come in perfect circles, yet the chips inside your phone or PC are all square? It’s not a design choice — it’s physics, engineering, and a little bit of clever waste management.
In this video, we break down:
How a cylindrical silicon ingot becomes a round wafer 🍥
Why circular wafers handle stress better during processing ⚙️
How many chips you actually get from a 12-inch wafer (hint: not as many as you think)
The truth behind "defective" chips — and why your i9, i7, i5, i3 exist 🧠
If you've ever looked at a chip and wondered why it's not round… this one's for you.
