How Are Microprocessors Made?
Design/Engineering As it is with all electronic circuit designs, the creation of microprocessors begins at an engineer’s computer. Engineers use software (such as Cube Suite) to design the patterns of the microprocessor and the pins used to connect microprocessors to circuit boards. The design is created using graphical user interface tools in the software (tools are different with each software). In addition to designing the physical microprocessor, its software counterpart must be programmed using an assembly language. To use an assembly language for writing instructions for microprocessors, begin with learning the common and fundamental programming languages used in the industry, like BASIC and the C/ C+ programming languages. Use C/ C+ and Visual Basic (.net or 6.0) for customizing your technical drawings in CAD (computer aided drawing software). Use CAD-Electrical for all microprocessor, microchip, and electrical designs. Manufacturing A dozen microprocessors are created on a sing
