Production ProcedureS

  • The silicon is smelted into molten form. It is re hardened as a disc. 
  • The Disc is put under the Lead Water. This gives it special properties 
  • The Disc is ready to be etched. It is put under a laser and engraved.  
  • A circuit is prepared using copper and plastic. Gold pins are put on the b 
  • The Silicon is placed on the Circuit. A steel piece is placed on the silico
