Term · Semiconductors · MLC-T-SEM-000142

The initial set of manufacturing steps in semiconductor fabrication that create the active devices, such as transistors, on the silicon wafer. This includes processes like wafer cleaning, oxidation, photolithography, etching, ion implantation, and diffusion. FEOL processes define the core electrical characteristics of the integrated circuit.
