Chemical Self-Building Chips – A New Way to Manufacture CPUs and GPUs
Imagine you have magic LEGO pieces . You don't place each LEGO by hand. Instead, you pour a special liquid onto a table, and the LEGO pieces automatically find the correct places and connect together. Step 1 Make a simple first layer (the foundation). Step 2 Pour Chemical A . This chemical knows exactly where it should stick on the first layer. It moves by itself until the pattern is complete. Then you make it hard (solid). Step 3 Pour Chemical B . Chemical B doesn't care about the first layer. It only understands the pattern made by Chemical A. It automatically builds the next layer. Then make it hard. Step 4 Pour Chemical C . It looks only at Layer B and builds the next layer. Then make it hard again. Keep repeating Each new chemical looks only at the layer below it. It builds the next layer by itself. After every layer, you lock it so it cannot move anymore. Eventually, after many layers, the whole CPU or GPU is finished. Why is this different? Today...
