This presentation, "From Idea to Silicon: The Journey of IC Design and Fabrication," takes you on a dynamic and visual tour of how integrated circuits (ICs)—the heart of modern electronics—are born. We’ll explore how engineers turn abstract ideas into physical chips, starting with high-level design in code, through logic synthesis, simulation, and physical layout, all the way to advanced semiconductor fabrication in cleanroom labs. Along the way, you'll discover how tools like photolithography and ion implantation shape microscopic structures on a silicon wafer, and how innovation is pushing boundaries with technologies like FinFETs and EUV lithography. Designed for engineers, students, and tech enthusiasts, this session blends technical depth with intuitive visuals to demystify a complex process that powers the devices we use every day. Whether you're new to IC design or want to understand how chips are truly made, this talk delivers both insight and inspiration.
